Shute Shield: Colts 1-3 Road To The Finals
While the Shute Shield 1st Grade competition has rightfully stolen most of the attention this year, the lower grade and colts competitions are also heating up with two rounds remaining in the regular season.
We caught up with NSW Junior Rugby president Ben Gregory to get an update on how the three colts competitions are shaping up.

Sydney Uni (78 - Gordon, Parramatta) and Randwick (65 – West Harbour, Southern Districts) have the top 2 spots sewn up.
Eastwood (56 – Northern Suburbs, Penrith), Southern Districts (54 – Warringah, Randwick) and Eastern Suburbs (51 – Parramatta, Gordon) are all in the mix for positions 3rd to 5th.
“On form Easts should win both and go to a maximum 61 points, Eastwood should also account for Penrith and go to 61 points with a game in hand. Southern Districts have two hard matches and must win both to make the top four,” Gregory told Rugby News.
