Actually Lee, I don't mind working with Azzuri. Could be more balanced. I can dovetail our reports/photos. I will pm you with my personal email address so that you can tell me about how the photos work.

 

[Lee Grant]

@ LG.. Will see what I can do to get some photos and provide some additional commentary but will be Monday before I can send through.

On second thoughts - send it through.

I can always add the photos in after it is published - and also add any stuff you write or part thereof to augment what is already in the blog

Thanks.

I will make you party to the writers guidelines which explains about the photos.

I will also start a convo with you and Azzuri - I didn't realise you knew each other.

Write nothing more in this thread on the matter please.

Newington v Kings: Kings have shown glimpses of their capabilities with their scoreboard shut out of Shore last week. A repeat of their defensive effort in the 2nd half of this first rd clash will give the Kingsmen confidence but New are likely to bank their points in the 1st half: N by 12

Scots v Joeys: Both teams impressed with the reversal of 1st half deficits last week. I'm tipping Joeys to maintain their momentum & their away win will keep their slender title hopes alive: J by 1

Riverview v Shore: Shore to showcase more of their 2nds players this week & View missing a number of their first choice forwards. View's backs to show their wares: R by 20+

TIPS:

The weekend of upsets.

Kings, Joeys, and Shore to surprise everyone and have a close game with View. may not get the win.

Close games all round.

12. Joe Schwager
13. Eddy King

Rain, rain, go away... (Hopefully, should be right.)

My father (TAS Class of 1955) reports that the game was played in great spirits. Little foul play at all. A fast paced game. Plenty of support for TAS with the reunion weekend on. Joeys boys (while few in number) gave plenty of vocal support. Hospitality was warmly appreciated as TAS enjoy hosting SJC I am told.

Well done Joeys and thank you Joker for posting this. Obviously I'm sad that TAS lost, but it seems to have been a game in the GPS tradition.

Grammar 1sts 19 d Riverview 3rds 10

Some very strong defence from View was let down by their poor offence, despite being dominated possession-wise.

- Grammar's first try came through a nicely worked pick-and-drive.
- Their second was a beauty, winning the scrum against head followed by the backline adjusting swiftly and very skilfully to set up a blindside play.
- Riverview hit back with one of their own, capitalising on some weak set-piece defence allowing the 10 to dummy, step and score.
- Grammar managed to get one back on the full-time whistle in a very similar fashion, with their 10 attacking a gap that had opened due to fatigue.

I trust someone's going to post the Shore vs View game as I've left for Concord and the Shute Shield GF. As well as all the other games, of course.

Other results:
