Well my school on the Central Coast was supposed to enter this year but we missed out 2 other schools submitted before us which i think is just unlucky.

All i know is the sporting schools are the most talented obviously and schools in the Penrith/St Marys area are the favourites. Farrar from Tamworth are also good. I played them a few years ago in Buckley Shield competition in the state semi final, lost 32-14 they are a strong side.

Last Friday night was between Terra Santca College Vs Erindale College at Campbelltown. Erindale won, not sure what the score was. Terra Sancta havent been in the comp that long but has produced the likes of Shane Rodney, Mark Meredith and Feleti Mateo (who's playing Reggies for Parramatta), and of course Erindale have produced Brett Finch, Richard Villasanti and Todd Paytem

St. Dominics won last year's competition, not sure who the favourites are this year, I would think St Dominics have got a huge wrap on this one.

St Gregory's Campbelltown would be a fair chance wouldn't they?

The word I hear is there is going to be an Arrive Alive Cup game before the Storm game on Friday night at Olympic Park.

 

[Tupac Shakur]

Why would it be down in Melbourne? It might happen but i just thought the games would be played up in NSW. What curtain raisers do the Storm normally have before their home games?

 

[RICHO]

Nah that's right.
There is a televised game being played before a Storm game soon.

Friday July 2nd, before the Storm v Panthers game.

It's Holy Spirit (Canterbury) vs. Dickson College (Canberra)


This is where the results are:

if Holy Spirit Lakemba wins on friday it will be the first Canterbury-Bankstown district school to make it this far in 10 years.

VRL or junior rep games pretty much.

Ie. Crap.

No.

Endevour will also not be as strong as last year.

 

[ali]

I don't know about that. They still had many of their guns when i saw them play at the sevens in January, which they won from memmory. I was thinking at the time they'll be close to unstoppable in the Cup.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Didnt St Gregs pull out of it a few years ago, cause the principal was a Rugby coach?

 

[Deveate]

I Play for Erindale College (no.14) we beat terra sancta 20 - 12 and the game is going to be televised July 24th at 11:30. I know we don't play again untill the rest of the Teir A games have been played, all should be up to where we are by August 8th. Erindale's next game is against the winner of Patrician brothers blacktown and a Teir B team (don't know who yet). Glad to see you all follow this comp too. Erindale is going to go close i reckon, just watch!

Ive been following this comp since JT played for St Gregs in 1989, its really interesting.

Channel 9 had a good intro to it, it showed the current league stars playing for their school they played for back then.

Trent Barrett for St. Gregs in 1995
Tony Puletua for John Paul 2, Marayong in 1996
Brett Finch for Erindale College in 1998
Nathan Cayless for Parramatta Marist in 1995
Michael Vella for Farfield Pats in 1996
Braith Anasta for Marcelin College in 1998
Pat Richards for Westfields Sports in 1998
Timana Tahu for St Francis Xavier College in 1998
Lance Thompson for Kingsgrove in 1995

As long as Endeavour keep Pee Wee Moke and Beau Champion fit, they're in with a very good chance.

 

[anjado]

blacktown pats usually do pretty well
and fairfield
as do parramatta marist
chifley college is meant to be the best other penrith school

 

[weasel]

Go Wavell High!

 

[bazza]

Interesting to see a school from Victoria is still in

But I think Kogarah Marist will beat them
