At least our match is Sunday. Won’t help if they extend it.

Best thing to do is call it a draw, only fair.
They might need to if they want to maintain a compeition. Numbers are down accross the board.

Out of interest, do you know how the numbers are faring for Dewar Shield?

Or they will return to handing out scholarships to boost numbers
Not sure for Seniors, but I beleive there are more participating teams in the juniors. For example, 9 teams in U14 (was 10, but Endeavour Hills puulled their team). U16 has big numbers - EH have 2 teams running.
Don't think they've stopped.

Do any other of the aps schools (including Marcellin & Trinity) other than St Kevin's offer scholarships for Rugby? Last I heard Xavier still don't for aussie rules even.
Fairly sure MGS do. Someone pointed out a U16 player who is on a scholarship (can't verify). THey've got strong links to Melbourne, so no doubt they will keep their eyes peeledfor talent.

Is that just this year or a recurring trend over the last few.
I ask because I've seen numbers down in my kids sports (netball and soccer) this year too,and they are supposed to be sports that have had growth in recent history.

Ivanhoe stopped I heard and other schools cut back

Depends on the sport, talking to some friends who's kids are playing hockey and all clubs are struggling as they can't field mixed U12, U14, U16 teams anymore. Have to have separate boys and girls teams as Hockey Vic want the government grants for having girls only sports.

DHP cut a forlorn figure having a kick of the football at Gosch's paddock this morning as i went past in the drizzle on my morning shuffle. he is still hoping to make a return to active duty, but fate not decided as yet. his and the teams main concern (other than the obvious life on the road yet again !) is the coaching deficit, two to do the job of five, which i found interesting.
