After dropping three games by five points or less in the opening month of the 2024 GPS first XV season, Shore have won their last three matches and now sit just one win from the top of the competition ladder. 

Following impressive wins over Scots and Riverview, Shore returned from the July school holiday break in style, scoring six tries in a 38-12 win over Kings last weekend.

“It was our first hit out on a dry track this year which I think all the teams would have really enjoyed,” first XV coach Angus Sinclair told Rugby News. 

“White Oval at Kings is one of the best decks around as well so we were fortunate to get to enjoy it on a good day. 

“Kings were a little depleted with injuries but our boys played well and did what they had to do. 

“It was the first time Shore had won at Kings since 2006, so everyone was pleased with that.”
