Waratah Cup Finals played today at Woollahra Oval:
Waratah Cup Winner: Merewether HS
Waratah Cup Runner-up: Epping Boys HS
Score: something like 19-23 (definitely 4 points difference)
Once again, the organisation and coordination of schoolboy rugby leaves a bit to be desired.
Here's what I heard today: In the Waratah Cup final, Epping Boys won their semi 30-something to nil, and then went straight into playing the final v Merewether with only a 5 minute break (Merewether had an hour or so break between semi and final). Only 20 minute halves, but that's still 80 minutes of football.
Then, they had to hightail it across town to T.G.Milner where they played their CHS Grand Final v Homebush Boys HS. I believe they were up 12-0 initially, and 12-12 at half time, but lost something like 29-12 in the end. I wonder why...? Some boys had to play 150 minutes of football between 11am - 4pm. Not good.
