NSW Schools: Joeys & Kings break GPS premiership droughts after dramatic final round

Joeys and Kings will share the 2018 GPS premiership after another drama filled afternoon of schoolboy rugby in Sydney. Joeys, Kings and Scots went into their final matches equal on six competition points each and all with a chance to win an outright or shared premiership. At Parramatta, two tries to 15-year old phenom Joseph Suaalii proved the difference as Kings beat Scots 24-18. Scots led for the majority of the match, but couldn't match the Kings attack after the break, as they claimed their first premiership since 2009. But there was plenty of drama still to come on a windy afternoon in Sydney. With a packed house at Lane Cove for the Riverview v Joeys match, the wind knocked over one set of goal posts, forcing fans to wait over an hour for play to get underway. But when it did, it didn't disappoint. After a tight first half, Joeys trailed 8-7 but reclaimed the kick off at the start of the second half and scored almost immediately to take the lead. Riverview
