Sydney University claimed back-to-back 2nd Grade Premierships in style, seeing off a gallant Eastern Suburbs 43-27 to retain the Colin Caird Shield in testing conditions that saw four seasons in 80 minutes.

Having waited 10 long years for a piece of silverware Gordon have gone back-to-back in 3rd Grade, lifting the JR Henderson Shield for the second year in a row after defending their title in another close battle against Sydney University, eventually running out 29-24 winners.

Randwick’s 4th Grade side were proof positive that grand finals are a different beast, turning around a 41-0 loss to Minor Premiers Gordon back in round 8 to edge home 15-13 against the Highlanders when it mattered, and claim a popular JR Henderson Cup victory at Forshaw Rugby Park.
