QLD AIC Rugby 2025

[Sumtingwong]

Eddies came second in 2022. Very dependent on personnel available.

Looks like things have gone down hill since David Miles left, I can remember him being the reason the culture shifted at that school which brought them success, they should look to be investing in a new coach because recent results are far from acceptable.

Huge turnaround for the Marist Opens’ yesterday. For the Year 12 cohort this was only the second time they’ve ever beaten Iona. After last year’s disaster when the Ashgrove 1sts, 2nds and 3rds all lost out at Wynnum, yesterday was a massive improvement.

Yep, I see that Marist also won the A and B grade games for Years 8-10, so a very good day for the MCA rugby program.

Iona’s First XV should not be judged on their Ballymore Cup results, no idea what went on there but they are a physically big/strong side who take their chances when presented and I expect them to be very competitive at home against both SLC (this coming Saturday) and Padua a bit later on.

They’ve got Padua at home next weekend and then Lauries at home in Round 6.

Closer game than usual between Villa and Laurie's in the local derby. Villa might surprise a few teams this year.

Needs to be a whole school approach, not just the 1st XV. If they can have a program that works from 7-12, building skills and physical capabilities then you'll see the results.

Agree, it’s a culture issue at the moment but from memory Miles changed things within a few seasons. Interested to know what’s been done since he left to try and maintain the standards he set.

MCA 55 d Iona 38

Crazy game…..

93 points in 70 minutes is nuts... Good attacking footy or poor defence?

 

[XFactor]

Great attack plus a couple of intercepts/drop balls.

 

[ChesterBiggoter85]

Ashgrove vs Iona was an attacking masterclass, although unsure how both of them will go against teams that have a solid defence could puzzle a few of those boys.

 

[Horrie Vincent]

It will be interesting to see if Ashgrove maintain the "no kicking" strategy v other teams - or whether it was a plan for playing Iona to reduce broken play opportunities. Iona are a very good side, but look like they need a little more time together.
