U16 schoolboy rugby

[chip n chase]

Have heard very good things about the New side this year. None of their boys are playing up (correct me if I'm wrong) and they have a few new players. They certainly will finish higher on the ladder than they did last year and will be a team to look out for.

 

[Mr Burns]

I believe a few boys from the 16’s have been asked to play in the open trial against Kings on Thursday.

Knox also have a trial against Newington on the 26th April. Will be the first proper trial for the Newington boys so should be a good test for them.

Not sure if Knox will have full team due to school holidays and some boarder's may be on leave. Nevertheless agreed a good test for both sides.

 

[PassPrincess]

Knox outclassed Newington 6 tries to 3, with the Knox fly half bagging 2 of his own. Despite the penalties favouring Newington and their clear size advantage, Knox held strong and took the win. Good performances from both the Prop and Fly Half, who stood out even more given they were supported by a mix of Knox A & B players but overall good game.

Who is the Knox #10 and is he in year 11 or year 12?

 

[PassPrincess]

Not sure on name but can find out, I do know that he is in Year 10, same as prop.

Tristan Madirazza at 10, and Ben Dover at prop if I am not mistaken.

Opps, I forgot I was in the U16 thread

 

[OleMan]

Tristan Madirazza at 10, and Ben Dover at prop if I am not mistaken.

Another player from the 2024 State Championship Winning Two Blues team. Good to see he is doing doing well at Knox... and I believe has moved to Lindfield/Gordon this year.

Ben Dover. Surely not.

Newington 16A’s beat Kings 12 - 10.

What was the score in the Scots vs Augs game

Joeys v Waverly - 42 -19 I believe. Glad to see some Joeys players stepping up with so many players in opens

I think the 12,13, and 14 jerseys will be the only potential changes in this lineup.
Others are a lock.
