    APS Season 2011

    unfortunate for skevs that they are at the mercy of the yarra / gardiners creek, when it floods it goes straight onto the ovals. maybe best to invest in some sports grounds off campus like Carey, best oval in the APS / ammos

    xavier vs st kevin's

    FWIW both schools are great schools and anybody who attended either one of them should feel priviledged. I guess though both being the 'mick' schools of the APS competition comparisons are always going to be drawn. I went to skevs but have had cousins, a lot of mates and currently a nephew...
