Keebra Park SHS’s Chantay Ratu and Skyla Adams played the house down to help their side to the Murphy Cup win over Kirwan SHS by 24-8.

Unbeaten Keebra Park SHS jumped out of the blocks with two quick tries before Kirwan SHS prop Theophelia Mosby-Mona spun her way over.

Keebra Park SHS with the Murphy Cup.

Keebra Park had opened the scoring with an enterprising effort by Faith Tutauha off a Ratu pass, then soon after the long striding Ratu reached out to score her own try.

Ratu hit the pass with the vigor of an edge backrower.

But Kirwan SHS, down 8-nil, worked their way back into the match.

With excellent ball control, they worked over the Keebra Park defence, leading to Mosby-Mona’s close to the line try.

However the killer blow came when Keebra left centre Hailee-Jay Ormund-Maunsell plunged over and the game was safe.

Keebra Park SHS coach Nathan Small said the win was a reward for the commitment the group had shown.

“And that is not only over the last 12 months, but the entire time they have been in the program,’’ Small said.

“Some of these girls have been at the school since year 7, so to see them finish state champions, best school out of 62 teams, is something to be very proud of.’’

Keebra dummy half Layne Northey also gave lovely service to aid her team’s performance.

Despite trailing, Kirwan did score late courtesy of Jairel-Ellan Martin-Savage.
