I know this is a rugby forum but nephew has no GPS tennis this weekend because NC do not have a single(nil/zip) grade 8 tennis team.
Most schools have 3 & BBC,BGS,GT & Churchie have 4.
They cant all be playing rugby ? piss poor.

Jokes...

It's a valid question as to whether everyone is playing or preparing for Rugby at the expense of other sports

Nudgee , especially , had a pretty strong Tennis program 20 odd years ago but have lost the plot and it seems to only be a token endeavour these days

If you have a close look at what some of the better programs are doing in Tennis and Basketball in opening up the sporting scholar pathways beyond their schools ......more insular programs like Rugby , and the Directors in charge of those programs, could really learn a lot from these other programs in how they initiate life experience and scholastic / career opportunities for their young men beyond the four walls of their schools ( and the four walls of their Rugby programs )

The Guru - Actually Nudgee have one year 8 team - the 8D's.

The breakdown for Nudgee tennis is: 5A & B; 6A,B & C; 7A,B, C & D; 8D; 9A,B & C; 10 A,B & C; 11A & B; 1st, 2nd, 3rds.

Not all that piss poor after all!

So 30th May first trials start from what I can see BBC v ACGS. What other games are being held on the weekend or are the earlier trial games on. Looks to be all school not just 1st 15

Your kidding-right?
That is woeful.
Most schools will have 7 teams without a match when the play NC..Even TGS had 28 teams.Where are the 8A & B.?
Back to rugby.

Surely no one is stupid enough to think that a school is unable to field an 8A-C tennis team due to u13 rugby preseason. Really???

Maybe Nudgee just doing everything in their power to avoid the 40 point touch ups they got in the 13As by BBC and Ippy last year....

already happened.
Expect up to 9 new boys in NC 14 A this year.
Predictions

Will the NC 15 As ever lose a match?Not this year.
BBC still to good in 14As
GT to win 13A (with loads of "new boys")
TGS to be very competitive in 1sts.
