Shore were the big improvers of the GPS competition in 2022, defeating Scots, Newington and Riverview and losing to Kings by just a point.

Former Shute Shield winning flyhalf Angus Sinclair will coach his former school in 2023 and appears confident Shore will continue their upward trajectory this season.

Overview with Angus Sinclair: 

“It’s obviously been a shorter build up than in previous year but we’re really looking forward to round one,” Sinclair told Rugby News.

“We had a tough hit out against Knox on the weekend and there were a lot of good learnings that came from that game and I’m glad we had a tough, physical game like that ahead of round one.
