On Saturday 17 May we matched up with Newington College with the First and Second XI teams playing in the Indigenous Round and rounding out the Plate Cup Group games, where both teams will now play Joeys for 7th and 8th placings on Saturday 24 May in the Finals before the GPS competition starts on Saturday 31 May vs Sydney Grammar School.

First XI vs Newington 0-6 loss
On a clear, sunny day, the Shore First XI took on a strong Newington side in what proved to be a challenging fixture. With Captain Tom Robson unavailable, the team knew they were in for a test. Newington started strong and took control early, putting pressure on our backline. By halftime, Shore trailed 0-4, but the boys regrouped and responded with a much-improved second-half performance, showing greater composure and fight, conceding only two goals after the break. Our best chance of the match came midway through the first half in a chaotic sequence inside the Newington box. The ball bounced off multiple heads in a frantic scramble, with players from both teams desperately trying to gain control. It was scrappy, tense, and felt like the moment we could change the game. But luck wasn’t on our side, and the ball was eventually cleared to safety. Despite the scoreline, Shore continued to press forward, showing heart and glimpses of quality throughout the second half. While the final scoreline read 0-6, there were positives to take away, especially the effort and structure shown in the second half. With key players set to return, the team is eager to bounce back stronger.
