Westfields Sports High win NRL Schoolboy Cup
For all the Jarryd Haynes, Israel Folaus and David Klemmers Westfields Sports High School have produced, there has been one thing missing from the school’s trophy cabinet. Until, today.
Westfields Sports defeated Hills Sports 10-6 in golden point in the NRL Schoolboys Cup NSW State Final.
On a ground Hayne – one of several NRL stars that have attended the school – declared “his house” recently, Westfields made Campbelltown Stadium their theatre of dreams with Filia Utoikamanu breaking the 6-all deadlock in the first period of extra time with a rampaging try to seal victory.
The game itself didn’t reach any great heights. In fact, Hills dominated possession with Westfields making a mountain of errors.
However led by man of the match Lindsay Smith and Australian schoolboy Sean Keppie, Westfields’ defence stood firm after Smith put the Fairfield West school ahead midway through the first half when he crashed over near the posts.
The second half belonged to Hills but after they failed to captialise on several chances it was Westfields who made the most of rare field possession when Utoikamanu broke free to race 30 metres to score.
Westfields will now play the Queensland winner in the National final at Pepper Stadium on September 14.
