Are the Joes going to lose again this year? seems like they go and lose the big match every other year?

Big Joe

Yes bro, tasting defeat is hard to swallow but that is what sportsmanship is all about.

Hope SACK, eldest bro of Peters, will not go to courts to take an injunction order or cricket body to get the result reversed (after couple of months when the season is about to over) like the once upon a time 'classless' school.

Or not sure that SACK would complain that one player had six fingers in one hand which assisted Petes' victory ;;;-) like Vidyartha's over aged boy assisted last 2012 rugby match draw against the 'classless' school. That was what they complained.

Would you, like the 'classless' school ?

Who is leading the Sri Lanka school's cricketing arena 2013 ?

Is it Petes or Richmond ?

Based on printed media reports Richmond is having a fantastic season, may be after many years.

Papare, why don't you publish the points table ?

Peterites recorded the 6th win this season, which is a good morale booster for the big match this weekend.
