CAS Defeat ISA in Opens Cricket Representative Match

CAS have won a hard fought game against the ISA in the 1st XI cricket match played at St Pius grounds at Oxford Falls on Sunday. CAS lost the toss and were put into the field and had to work hard for wickets. The ISA batsmen made starts but no one could go on with it. For CAS Satva Shah bowled very well taking 5/37 off 8.4 overs. The other CAS bowlers also bowled well without luck. ISA were all out for 154 in the 48th over.

The CAS innings started slowly due to some excellent bowling from the ISA opening bowlers which saw CAS 2/12 off 8 overs. Captain Tom Bermingham then came to the crease and started to build an innings to steady his team. A partnership of 54 with Martis Johri followed and CAS started to put the pressure back out to the fielding side. At 66 Martis Johri was bowled and William Livissianis joined Bermingham for a 44 run partnership. 2 wickets fell quickly and now it was CAS back under pressure.

Satva Shah came to the crease and worked the singles to get the strike to Bermingham. The had a 35 run partnership which included 1 over of 19 runs. It was this over that put CAS back on the front foot with now only 15 runs required. As the 150 was reached both Jonathon McDonald and Tom Bermingham fell to good bowling and it was left to William Byrom and Lachlan Barber to score the final 5 runs for victory.

Tom Bermingham was the top scorer for the match with 69.

Barker Win the CAS Bruce Wood T20 Trophy

Barker College have won back to back T20 Championships and have received the new CAS Bruce Wood T20 Trophy yesterday against Waverley College at Queens Park.

Waverley scored a very competitive total of all out 117 off 20 overs with A Soni top scoring with 42 off 40 balls. J Archer from Barker with the best bowling figures of 4 Ov 20r 3w.

Barker slowly built into their innings and were always in touch with the run rate required. Captain H Abood batted through the innings with 28 off 40 balls. However it was when J Archer came to the crease that the match changed. With 58 off 28 balls Archer lifted the run rate leading to Barker getting the required runs in 17.1 overs with 6 wickets remaining.

Our thanks to Umpires Leonard Gregory and Bruce Wood and to Waverley for hosting the final and the Waverley parents for providing the after match refreshments.

CAS Announcement on Combined Rugby Competition for 2025

 

Joint Statement from the General Committee of the Associated Schools of NSW and the Board of the Independent Sporting Association

 

The General Committee of the Associated Schools of NSW (CAS) and the Board of the Independent Sporting Association (ISA) wish to announce that there will be a new competition format for the 2025 Rugby season. This format change is the result of significant feedback and consultation with schools, with a view to creating the best possible environment for our rugby players. The new format will see CAS and ISA schools compete for their respective association competitions throughout Term 2 and will then combine to play in a graded inter association competition during Term 3. ISA Schools that were previously Div 2 were amalgamated into the ISA Div 1 Competition in 2024 across the B or C competition for each age group, aligned with a Div 1 school. In 2025, the intention is for that to continue.

 

Once the CAS / ISA competitions have been completed in Term 2, the results from the 1st and 2nds XV’s, along with U13-U16 age group A’s teams, will determine the placing of schools into two competition pools. The intention of the inter association competition during Term 3 is to provide the best possible experience for the final matches of the season for all players as we work towards creating the best Schoolboys Rugby competition in Australia.

 

As an example, using the 2024 season’s results the two competition pools would be.

RED POOL   BLACK POOL
Barker College St Pius X College
St Augustine’s College Trinity Grammar School
Waverley College St Patrick’s College
Oakhill College Cranbrook School
Knox Grammar School Kinross Wolaroi School
St Stanislaus College St Aloysius’ College
St Gregory’s College
Central Coast Grammar School

 

During Term 3, the fixtures will be done in a 2 year block. In 2025, CAS schools will host the first week of fixtures and ISA Schools will host the second and third weeks of fixtures*. The following year in 2026, the CAS schools will host two home fixtures and ISA schools will host one home fixture.

* Where appropriate, schools will discuss the sharing of age groups during these fixtures, as has happened in the past

 

To determine the winner in each of the Pools, the 1st XV win / loss results from each Association’s matches in Term 2 will carry over to the Inter Association Competition. The results from the Inter-Association matches will be added to the Inter Association Competition ladder, to determine a winning School.

 

We have the full support of NSW Rugby Union in making this change and look forward to this exciting new competition format.
