Cross Country

The 2015 GPS Cross Country season concluded on Saturday 5 September with the GPS Championships at Macquarie University. The Intermediate and Senior teams finished in fourth place, with the U14 team taking the honours by winning the Junior Division. This is the third year in a row the Juniors have won. Congratulations to all the boys on a fantastic season and result.

Football

The 2015 Football season came down to the last weekend for the 2^nd XI team  who headed in the the last round equal on points with Scots, Newington needed to defeat Riverview to at least share the premiership with Scots College. The Newington boys were able to win and Kings defeated Scots which saw the 2^nd XI team coached by Mr Lawson become outright premiers.

The 1^st XI also had a solid season after their CIS Cup season finishing fourth. This season has seen all Newington teams display fantastic skills both individually and as a team. We would like to congratulate Shore School on their 1^st XI Premiership win.

Rugby

Similar to the Football, the 1^st XV needed to win to share the spoils with Scots College and gain co-premiership this year. In an epic game which came down to the last play of the game Newington retained their composure to score a fine team try involving over 15 phases to score a 42-38 victory over a gallant Riverview team.

The 2^nd XV also scored a last minute victory with a try in the corner to secure second spot on the GPS ladder. Congratulations to St Joseph’s on winning the 2^nd and 3^rd XV premierships.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Callum Lowe-Griffiths (11/PR) who has been selected to represent Australia in the Australian Youth Lifesaving Team in a three test surf series in Queensland. 

Newington 1^st XV centre Simon Kennewell (12/ME) has also been selected to represent Australia in Sevens Rugby at the Commonwealth Youth games to be held in Apia, Samoa.

We wish Callum and Simon all the very best. 

In closing we would like to acknowledge all boys for their efforts over the winter season, in particular the Year 12 boys on their final representation of the College.
