Ipswich too good in National Final

Ipswich State High v Hills Sports High School, NRL Schoolgirls Cup national final

The Shalom Sauaso-Kaiah Hansell one-two punch proved too hot for Hill Sports to handle as Ipswich SHS turned on the style to storm to the national NRL Schoolgirls title.

Replay: Ipswich SHS v Hills SHS – NRL Schoolgirls Cup National…
Watch a full game replay of the action between Ipswich SHS and Hills Sports High School in a massive Schoolgirls Cup grand final.

Shalom Sauaso and Kaiah Hansell

Remember the names.

The pair were pivotal as Ipswich SHS crushed Hills Sports High 28-6 in the NRL National Schoolgirls final at Cbus Super Stadium on Wednesday.

Hansell scored three tries in an excellent display of classy finishing.

Then there was Sauaso.

She was pivotal and rightly awarded the game ball after earning player of the match honours, on top of her player of the tournament honours.

One second, she was stopping a certain try with a tackle that was equal parts clutch and crunching in defence. The next, she was driving the footy upfield with a barnstorming run.

She also nailed four of five attempts at goal, including some tricky ones from the touchline.

It should come as no surprise given Sauaso has already represented the Reds in the Super W rugby union competition and has a Broncos NRLW deal.

Ipswich coach Alex Nicholson was thrilled with the performances of both, particularly hat-trick hero Hansell who was a natural hooker playing out of position on the wing.

Dreams do come true

“I suppose dreams do come true,” Nicholson said of Hansell’s performance.

As for Sauaso, Nicholson noted that “it takes a really special person” to nail three conversions from the touchline in a match as pressure-packed as a national final.

“She’s extraordinary, she’s going to do great things after this and she officially has fulfilled everything possible as a schoolgirl this year with her honour belt,” Nicholson said.

“I’m speechless, the feeling’s amazing, the girls are amazing, and their whole community is just so proud of them.”

The match was a tense affair early, with the two sides trading tries inside the opening 10 minutes.

Ipswich took a slender 12-6 lead into the half-time break and then took total control in the second half as they stormed to the national title.

Star Hills halfback and Bulldogs-contracted Olivia Vaalele was a shining light in defeat and kicked superbly.

For Ipswich, the demons of last year’s shock Titans Schools League final, where they coughed up a 26-0 lead to lose to Mabel Park 28-26, have now well and truly been exorcised.

PREVIEW

Hills Sports High will have redemption on their minds as they enter a second-straight NRL Schoolgirls Cup final on Wednesday.

While their coach Patricia Raikadroka was adamant her side was not tapping into the emotion of their loss in last year’s inaugural final, it will be hard for them to forget it.

But it is a different Hills Sports side going into the big dance against Ipswich State High on Wednesday. The grand final will be live streamed on KommunityTV at 2pm. Check out the schedule and more links below.

Hills teach Central Coast lesson in Schoolgirls master class

The rising Schoolgirls powerhouse has now won back to back titles in NSW – next on the agenda will be a first-ever national success when they head to Queensland in two weeks.

Replay: Central Coast Sports College v Hills SHS – NRL Schoolgirls Cup…

Hills Sports High are NSW Schoolgirls champions after downing Central Coast Sports College 18-0 in a one-sided grand final at Campbelltown Stadium.

Having fallen to Central Coast in the preliminary rounds, the girls from Sydney’s west came out breathing fire and cruised to back-to-back titles following a dominant first half that included three unanswered tries.

“It was tough coming in knowing that we’d lost to them before,” said Hills coach Patricia Raikadroka.

“We made tactical changes and we had players returning from injury. Those key players lifted the team’s confidence, and Aliahana (Fuimaono) picked up the player of the match.”

Central Coast found breaking the Hills defence a tough assignment.

Looking ahead, Hills are likely to start favourites next season as they chase a third consecutive title.

“A lot of our girls are either in year 11, and some are still in year 10.”

In unfortunate scenes, the game was called seven minutes early after Central Coast’s Bronte Ryan received treatment following a heavy knock.

At the time of reporting, as a precaution, the backrower was mobilised to hospital in the back of an ambulance.

Earlier, punishing backrower Aliahana Fuimaono, who was player of the match, burrowed across to put Hills ahead in the second minute, and the points kept flowing in a first half that finished 14-0.

Restricted by strangling defence, Central Coast rarely crossed halfway and they had little answer to the bullocking efforts of Hills rep stars Ella Walker and Mya Muller.

Walker proved unstoppable early, the Australian Schoolgirls prop continually put her side on the front foot and paved the way for centre Naioka Tuipulotu to cross out wide in the 10th minute.

Rising Harvey Norman Premiership centre Danielle Seckold added another before the break.

And any hope of a Central Coast comeback was immediately dashed on the resumption when Fuimaono dashed down the left edge for her second four pointer of the day.

Trailing by 18, Central rallied in the stifling conditions and began to dominate field position with 10 minutes to play.

Halves Mahlie Cashin and Madison Massey sparked several attacking raids, but Hills had all the answers, scrambling on numerous occasions to shut down promising plays.

With the state trophy in the cabinet, Hills have booked a trip to the Gold Coast next month where they will meet Queensland’s best in a battle to be crowned national champions.

PREVIEW

Hills Sports High aspires to become the pre-eminent nursery for girls rugby league talent in NSW.

Likely standing in their way to achieve that honour is their opponent in Wednesday’s NRL Schoolgirls Southern Division grand final – Central Coast Sports College.

Catch the action from the big game LIVE and EXCLUSIVE on KommunityTV from 11am at Campbelltown Stadium. Check the full week-long Schoolboys/Girls LIVE STREAM schedule from around the country below.

This match-up is much anticipated, especially with the standard of the women’s game lifting significantly in the wake of the NRLW’s growing popularity and recent expansion.

Hills Sports coach Patricia Raikadroka, whose playing experience included running out for the Australian Prime Ministers XIII and Fiji, said is a key for her young team this season has been the school supporting both rugby league and rugby sevens.

“The skills really complement each other,” she said

“We have a pool of athletes that like both and it works well for us. They are taking on opportunities, that are helping them.

“The two sports are quite different, the patterns and how they use their bodies is quite different.

“I know other programs separate, but we work well with the coaches to make sure the players get everything they need and it’s good for the girls.”

The rugby league program at Hills only started 12 months ago and has been an instant hit.

“Our numbers in a year from girls applying have almost tripled,“ Raikadroka said.

“Our senior squad last year was 20 odd and the juniors were about the same.

“We’ve had close to 100 applications to come to the school, we are trying to set ourselves up as a real nursery.

“We are shaping up to be the place to be for women players to come.

“We want them to be good people, the best rugby league or rugby sevens athletes here we can, and we want people that contribute to the culture of the team as well.”

Hills proved too strong for Erindale in last year’s decider.

Central Coast has the same ambitions for young football talent north of Sydney.

“It’s only our second year in the competition. Last year we struggled to even put points on the board,“ said coach Paul Franz.

“Now we are a year older, a new school in the rugby league world and girls want to come here.

“They don’t need to leave the coast to play rugby league.”

Hills Sports High made their way into the grand final with a 16-4 victory over Westfields Sports, while Central Coast booked their spot with a 24-10 win over Bass High.

In the pool phase, Hills posted a 42-10 victory over Bass High but were downed 24-10 by Central Coast in late June.

Central Coast also defeated Bass High 24-4 in another pool game.

NRL Schoolgirls Cup live stream: Mabel Park State High v Hills Sports High, national final

Experience reigned supreme to deliver Mabel Park State High a historic result in the inaugural NRL National Schoolgirls Cup final against Hills Sports High.

Mabel Park have claimed the inaugural NRL Schoolgirls Cup with a 26-8 win over NSW champions Hills Sports High School at Allianz Stadium on Wednesday.

Winning captain Malaela Su’a was on the verge of tears after collecting the trophy and said the feeling is ‘incredible’.

“There are no words,” Su’a said.

“I feel like I’m on fire right now, we made history and it just feels incredible.”

Su’a warned rivals that the title was only the beginning for Mabel Park.

“It’s really great that this competition exists for our young girls looking up at us,” she said.

“They’ll know they can chase the dream and anything is possible.”

Hills were looking the stronger side in the opening 10 minutes, but it was Mabel Park who struck first as Alice Shannon powered through to open the scoring.

Lily Vaitolo doubled the advantage for the Queensland side just minutes later before a stunning try from fullback Nazlyn Waaka-Rhind, whose fantastic footwork enabled her to dodge past the Hills defence, gave Mabel Park a solid 14-0 advantage at halftime.

There was a significant delay just before the break to allow Mable Park’s Nikolina Fangupo to be wheelchaired off the field following a hard tackle, but the Queenslander was able to return to the field for the second half.

Hills finally struck back 10 minutes into the second half with Manua Maleka scoring before Mabel Park scored one of the strangest tries seen all year, capitalising on a mistake from Hills to push the advantage out to 16 points.

Hills got their second and tried to mount a comeback with minutes remaining, but Mabel Park quickly squashed any hope with a final converted try.

It is a moment that has been a long-time coming for the girls of Mabel Park.

The school has been at the forefront of women’s rugby league for almost half a decade, building a schoolgirls program before their boys back in 2015.

The program already has a proven track record of producing NRLW talent, and the trophy cabinet is already overflowing with Karyn Murphy Cup titles.

But a chance to be crowned inaugural champions is an opportunity the proud school will not want to pass up.

“The opportunity to represent our school on the biggest stage means the world to these girls and our coaching staff,” Mabel Park coach Chace Carey said.

“Having worked alongside this group for the past five years, I have experienced first hand the highs and the lows, and witnessed the resilience the girls have developed as they have overcome every hurdle thrown their way.

“Having the opportunity to represent Queensland at the national titles extends beyond the footy field and into our broader community. I have no doubt that regardless of the result the team will put a performance together that we can be proud of.”

Hills Sports High will give up more than a few years in the experience stakes, but they will make up for it with their pride and passion.

The school’s girls program is only in its first year but has already exceeded expectations by being crowned the best schoolgirls side in NSW.

Hills Sport High will also carry the home field advantage into the game, with 300 of the school’s students ready to fill out part of the grandstands at Allianz Stadium.

“I really wanted to take the whole school, but we could only get enough buses to ship 300 kids into the city,” Hills Sports principal Amanda De Carli said.

“You can’t play in a stadium that big without a crowd, and that shows what it means for all of our students.”

NRL Schoolgirls Cup grand final live stream: Underdogs Erindale take on undefeated Hills Sports High

Another trademark Erindale College fightback fell agonisingly short as Hills Sports’ dominant first half proved the difference in the first-ever NRL Schoolgirls grand final. Relive all the action.

Watch a full replay of Hills Sports v Erindale College.

Hills Sports High School have claimed the inaugural NRL Schoolgirls Cup after hard fought win over Erindale College at Campbelltown Stadium on Wednesday.

Hills will now go on to face the winner of the Queensland competition in the national final on September 13 at Netstrata Jubilee Oval.

Erindale put the pressure to Hills early on, forcing mistakes to keep hold of the ball, but they couldn’t cross for the first try.

That came for Hills with Esther Tuipulotu regathering a kick and planting the ball amid multiple Erindale defenders in the corner.

It didn’t take them long to add to their advantage, along the other wing this time, as Manua Moleka found some space.

Mya McGlynn sparked an Erindale try late in the half, with Ella Kelly benefiting to score a try right in the corner.

Tuipulotu then scored her second try just before the break to give Hills a 14-4 halftime lead.

Hills came out of the sheds firing, and it took just a few minutes for Moleka to score her second try.

Erindale tried to respond quickly, but a strong Hills defence kept them out until Kelly managed to find some space again, dodging past Hills to plant her second.

Uta Uatisone Poka added another try soon after as the travelling Erindale fans got the whiff of an upset.

But despite the late comeback, Erindale just couldn’t match Hills with the final score 20-14.

PREVIEW

Erindale College will head into the NRL Schoolgirls grand final on Wednesday as the ultimate underdog when they face off against the undefeated Hills Sports High School.

But it is not going to stop the girls from the nation’s capital from believing.

The Canberra-based side barely scraped through to the semifinals, only picking up one win in the pool stage over Matraville Sports High School and narrowly beating out Illawarra Sports on points difference to make the knockout stages.

Erindale College after their NRL Schoolgirls Cup semi final against Bass High.

No one expected Erindale to make it to the grand final, but the team turned it up a notch in the semis, upsetting Bass 12-8 to book their place in Wednesday’s decider.

“I’m so ecstatic for the girls,” Erindale coach Ashley Barnes said of the shock win.

“Obviously we came in as massive underdogs and to turn up and play like that, the girls should be very proud and the school is very proud of them.”

The massive NRL Schoolgirls Cup grand final clash against Hills Sports will be available to stream LIVE and EXCLUSIVE on KommunityTV on Wednesday at 11:30am, ahead of the must-watch Peter Mulholland Cup final between Westfields Sports and Patrician Brothers Blacktown.

Despite Erindale’s underdog status, coach Barnes said he has complete belief in his team to pull off another upset and take out the title.

“We’ve just got to make sure that we … continue to work,” he said.

“A lot of these girls haven’t been playing rugby league for a long time, some only six months to a year, so it’s still all so new to them.

“We’ll be going home and watching the footage (from the semi-finals), watching Hills and working on the areas we think need improving.”

Hills Sports High have been the standouts of the inaugural NRL Schoolgirls Cup competition, coming through the pool stages undefeated.

The semi-final win over Westfields Sports High showcased the side’s never-say-die attitude, coming back from a 6-4 halftime deficit to take out the match 18-12.

“We dug deep when we were 4-6 down after the first half and we came back, it was just crazy,” Hills co-captain Olivia Vaalele said after the match.

While they might enter the grand final as the favourites, Vaalele said the side neded to have an honest appraisal of their semi-final performance with several areas that need to be worked on.

“We’ll really need to work on our penalties, just staying onside and keeping everything together,” she said.

“I’m definitely nervous for the grand final, but I think with the support we have we can put in a good performance.”

Peter Mulholland Cup Semi Finals

Peter Mulholland Cup semifinals live stream:

Patties Blacktown v St Dominic’s, Erindale v Westfields

While Westfields were class under pressure, they will have to be at their very best in the final if Patties Blacktown produce a repeat of their NRL Schoolboys Cup semi masterpiece. Relive the action.

Watch a full replay of Westfields Sports v Erindale College.

Westfields held off a tenacious challenge from Erindale to set up a Peter Mulholland Cup grand final showdown with Patrician Brothers Blacktown next Wednesday.

Lachlan Galvin was one of the stars of the show, scoring a try and contributing to multiple others to help his side to come from behind to beat the Canberra-based school 22-16 at Campbelltown Stadium.

It was the second year in a row Erindale have gone out at ther semifinal stage.

Westfields’ Roy Quiroz-Mapusa said getting to the grand final is an incredible feeling.

“What an adrenaline rush,” he said.

“We just had to keep believing in each other.

“There’s a reason Erindale got to the finals, but I had full confidence in the boys.”

Erindale gained the advantage early, with Olli Bolatagici benefiting from a Jonah Anderson kick to claim the first try.

Australian Schoolboy Xavier Cacciotti doubled the advantage for Erindale soon after, and a perfect two from two from Sam Gash gave the Canberra side a solid 12-0 lead early on.

Westfields coach Troy Weeden admitted the two early tries was concerning, but the boys didn’t let it impact their confidence.

“To go 12-0 down made me nervous,” Weeden said.

“Our mentality changed after that, we know we can score points when we are in the area, but we just weren’t there enough.”

Galvin was the first to reduce the deficit with a try followed by Brycen Anae Roberts and Sosefo Finau in quick succession to hand Westfields a 16-12 lead heading into the break.

Westfields made it four unanswered tries 10 minutes into the second half as Heith Pritchard powered through from dummy half for the try. A third successful conversion for Quiroz-Mapusua put the side 10 points in front.

Erindale’s Bolatagici was able to claw back some points off the back of an impressive run from Mathias Tomuli-Ah-Koui, but an unsuccessful conversion from Gash kept Erindale just out of reach.

The pro-Erindale crowd were fired up and a sin-bin for Westfields Markuzz Ofanoa only made them louder.

But Westfields held their nerve.

Super Patties Blacktown turn in semifinal special

Patrician Brothers Blacktown have shocked the NRL Schoolboys competition by demolishing the previously undefeated St Dominic’s 32-0 to secure a spot in next week’s grand final.

Fullback Wilson De Courcey called the result and performance ‘amazing’.

“Just crazy,” he said.

“I wasn’t expecting that scoreline, I thought it would be a closer game.

“But we’ve been aiming for this since the start of the season and to get this result is amazing.”

The opening few minutes were very physical with neither side giving an inch.

Marcellus Iakopo got the scoring underway early, dodging past St Dom’s defence before Thomas Epere doubled the lead soon after, following a kick from De Courcey.

St Dom’s were plagued by errors close to the line and the Pats defence was unyielding.

Australian Schoolboy De Courcey grabbed a try of his own just before halftime to extend the lead to 18-0 and it was a long way back for St Dom’s.

St Dom’s were gifted a much-needed advantage midway through the second half when Patties player Langa Tokuafu was sent to the sin-bin for a late tackle.

De Courcey said going a man down was frustrating.

“It’s little things like that, discipline, that we really need to sort out,” De Courcey said.

“If it was a closer game, that could have really affected us.”

St Dom’s though couldn’t break through. The closest they got was when a powerful charge from Jack Attard was thwarted by the defence right on the line.

Even down a player, Patties were unstoppable.

A brilliant run from Jaxon Edgar was rewarded as Jack Nicholas found the tryline, and co-captain Finau Latu added a second try in as many minutes to put St Dom’s out of their misery.

Patties’ confidence only grew from there as Nicholas picked up his second try of the match for a stunning 32-0 lead.

PREVIEW

The grand finalists from 2022 may be gone, but there is certainly no doubting the quality of this year’s Peter Mulholland Cup final four.

Patties Fairfield went out in the group stages while Hills were quarterfinal victims, but in Westfields Sports, Erindale College, St Dominic’s and Patrician Brothers Blacktown, there are four teams in peak form and all are capable of winning the title on their best day.

And the semifinal draw only adds to the intrigue.

Catch all of the action from Campbelltown Stadium LIVE and EXCLUSIVE on KommunityTV from 12:30pm on Wednesday, along with coverage of the NRL Schoolgirls Cup semi-finals from 10am. See the full draw below.

FOOTBALL FACTORIES: EVERY AUSTRALIAN SCHOOLBOY OF THE LAST DECADE

“He’s just so strong,” coach Troy Weeden said after Westfields’ 52-6 quarterfinal demolition of All Saints Maitland.

“He’s good at the art, everything he does is just superb and he gets us out of a lot of trouble.”

Australian schoolboy Lachlan Galvin has also been pivotal to Westfields’ success this year and Weeden praised the No.6’s ability to ‘always scoring tries, or contribute to them.’

While heading into the semifinals with plenty of momentum, Weedon conceded there were a few areas he wanted his team to pick up in.

“We need to fix our possession with the ball and control overall,” he said.

“As long as they put on a good performance and look after themselves we’ll be in with a shot.”

RELIVE ALL THE QUARTERFINAL ACTION HERE

Erindale’s quarterfinal clash against Endeavour Sports High School was ‘a bit of a weird game’, according to coach Ashley Barnes.

They eventually pulled off a 28-24 golden point win to reach the semifinals for the second year in a row. Last year they were knocked out in a thriller by Hills.

Barnes said he’s not underestimating the challenge Westfields will pose.

“If we’re as ill disciplined as we were against Endeavour, we’re going to have a really tough game,” Barnes said.

“They’re a powerful side with some really good players there, so we’ll really need to tidy up our game.

“I think if we just focus on us we’ll be really competitive.”

Jack Nicholas scored four tries in the quarterfinals.

In the other game, Patrician Brothers Blacktown have suddenly found a winning formula and head into their clash with St Dominic’s College feeling good about their prospects.

Their 64-6 win over Victorian University Secondary College in the quarterfinals featured an incredible 12 tries, four of which came from Jack Nicholas.

Nicholas said the result was a testament to how well the team are working together now after they fixed the mistakes that plagued them throughout the competition.

“We’re spreading the ball really well, our defence is really good,” Nicholas said after the quarterfinal win.

“Those four tries came from my teammates, we were just strong as a team and hopefully that takes us all the way.”

With St Dom’s going into the clash without yet losing a match in the competition, Nicholas said it’ll be a really tough battle.

“It’ll be a hard game, they’re a good team,” he said.

“It’s always tough when we play Dom’s but we’ll get back to training, work hard and give it a good crack.”

St Doms have been impressive form all year.

St Dom’s struggled with discipline issues during their 26-18 win over Hills Sports, letting in three tries in the second half and having Jack Ewer sent to the sin bin for a high tackle after looking comfortable in the opening half.

“We just switched off,” coach Kyle Churchill said.

“We weren’t cohesive as a group both in defence and in attack, and it took its toll.”

Hills win last minute thriller

Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Hills Sports face Patrician Brothers, Blacktown in big gun match-up

The search for a first win of 2023 goes on for Patrician Brothers, Blacktown after Hills Sports down to pull off an impressive NRL Schoolboys Cup win. Relive the action. Check out the photos.

Watch a full replay as Hills Sports v Patrician Brothers Blacktown.

An electric atmosphere in what was one of the matches of the tournament so far resulted in a stunning come-from-behind victory for Hills Sports High School.

Last year’s runners-up didn’t have the lead until the final minutes of the game when Lincoln Fletcher expertly guided over two penalty goals under pressure for a 16-12 win.

Fletcher said he felt ‘relief’ seeing them both go through.

“I’ve never had a moment like that before,” Fletcher said.

Hills have now won two out of two.

It was quite the comeback for last year’s runners up.

“But I knew I had to take my time and it turned out well in the end there.”

The scores were locked at 0-0 for most of the first half, with both sides frequently coming up short on their attacking moves.

Pats Blacktown broke the deadlock in the 24th minute, with Tyson Sangalang pushing through to the tryline for the first points of the game.

Heinz Lemoto added to the lead minutes later and two perfect conversions from Dylan Brettle gave Pats a solid 12-0 buffer heading into halftime.

Fletcher said coach Scott Jones didn’t mince his words at the break.

“Copped it at halftime,” Fletcher said.

“We just weren’t to our standard, the boys knew we had to dig deep.”

Hills came out after the break determined and it didn’t take them long to halve their deficit thanks to a try from Lorenzo Talatania, which was expertly converted by Fletcher.

Talatania was instrumental in their second as well, dodging Pats defenders before a brilliant offload to Matt Aitchison levelled the scores 12-12 late in the match.

Hills were gifted two late penalties from Pats’ indiscretions, with Fletcher once again showing his worth and converting both.

Hills will face Westfields Sports High School in their final pool match to determine who takes top spot of the seeded pool, but Fletcher said the preparation will be the same as any other game.

“We’ll go back to training, do our individual stuff,” he said.

“And hopefully when we take on Westfields, we’ll be up for it.”

PREVIEW

After last year’s heroics, Hills Sports coach Shane Jones obviously has high standards.

Pipped at the post in last year’s NRL Schoolboys grand final, Hills began 2023 with a 36-16 demolition of Endeavour Sports High, but it wasn’t enough to impress Jones.

Hills Sports, who next face Patrician Brothers, Blacktown on Wednesday, were far from the finished product, according to the coach.

“We’ve done a fair bit of review and identified some areas we need to be a lot better in,” Jones said.

The match will be available to stream LIVE on KommunityTV from midday at Ringrose Park as part of a blockbuster day of matches, including reigning champions Patrician Brothers, Fairfield taking on Illawarra Sports High School.

Patties’ season got off to a disappointing start, going down to Westfields Sports, who produced an outstanding come-from-behind victory in the second half.

But Jones was wary of the Patties threat, even declaring ‘they are the favourites’ for the big second round match.

“With the team that they have, they are going to be hard to beat” he said.

Na’oia Tofaeano scored a double for Hills in their opener against Endeavour.

“I thought they were the better team for most of that game against Westfields but didn’t get the result, so I know they’re going to be hungry.

“We need to just make sure we stop their roll through the middle, it was an area we were quite poor at with Endeavour.”

Jones missed the last game against Endeavour due to illness, and assistant coach Mitchell Lewis had similar sentiments after the match.

“If we want to be really serious about this competition, we can’t be conceding 18 points every week,” Lewis said.

Schoolboy Cup Rnd 1 double header

Hills read riot act despite blistering start to campaign

Live stream: Hills Sports and Endeavour clash in massive NRL Schoolboys Cup double-header

For 50 minutes, Hills Sports showed their undoubted NRL Schoolboys quality by running Endeavour ragged.

It’s the final 10 minutes that was a little cause for concern. Relive all the action.

Watch a full replay as Hills Sports v Endeavour Sports.

Hills Sports High have kicked off their redemption campaign with a convincing 36-16 win over Endeavour at Blue Bet Stadium on Wednesday.

Hills wasted no time in getting points on the board with Na’oia Tofaeano breaking through the Endeavour defence on their first possession to score in the corner.

Endeavour were a formidable opponent, but were simply outclassed by last year’s runners-up and their cohesive defensive line.

Hills assistant coach Mitchell Lewis said while it was a positive result to start the season, there was definitely a few issues to address.

“I think we played well for the first 50 minutes,” he said.

“There was definitely a little bit of complacency there.”

Hills made good use of an extra man on the field after Endeavour’s Bailey Leach was sent to the sin bin late in the first half, planting two tries before the break.

The sin bin was also needed late in the match for a dangerous tackle, the culprit this time was Hills centre Albert Litsisoni.

Mitchell said being a man down ‘really hurt’ the team.

“It let (Endeavour) gain more momentum,” Mitchell said.

Fullback Lincoln Fletcher contributed 16 points of his own, kicking six from six as well as scoring a try just before halftime.

Mitchell said the boys really need to prove defensively ahead of their next clash with Patrician Brothers, Blacktown on June 14.

“If we want to be really serious about this competition, we can’t be conceding 18 points every week.”

It was a good start to the 2023 season for Hills Sports. Pic: Christian Anstey

PREVIEW

Still chastened by last year’s grand final defeat, Hills Sports High are determined to kick off their 2023 Peter Mulholland Cup campaign in style on Wednesday.

After going through the 2022 season undefeated, Hills fell 20-16 to Patrician Brothers, Fairfield in the final moments of a thrilling decider.

They start their new campaign with a clash against Endeavour Sports High, a team they comfortably disposed of in the early rounds last year.

Hills began last year’s decider on fire but faded in the second half.

The match is part of a blockbuster double header at Blue Bet Stadium and will be LIVE STREAMED exclusively by KommunityTV as part of our season-long coverage of the Peter Mulholland Cup.

All four teams are part of the seeded pool and Hills coach Shane Jones knows his side face a huge task to repeat last year’s heroics.

“Obviously these games are very hard to win,” Jones said.

“But the boys are out there training in the early hours of the morning, sometimes it’s still dark and there’s frost on the oval, but they get it done because they love it.”

Jordan Uta, who came off the bench in last year’s grand final, said the boys want to come into the new season stronger than ever and learn from last year’s mistakes.

Hills Sports players Callan Phillips, Albert litisoni, Lorenzo Talataina and Jordan Uta.

“It obviously gives us more motivation,” Uta said.

“It all depends on the boys, if they put in the effort in training, the results will come.”

A key part of bouncing back from last year’s disappointment for Jones is consistency in every game, no matter the opponent.

“We try to instil in the boys how important it is to compete in every moment of the game, not just in the big games,” Jones said.

Moments away from losing the NRL Schoolboys Cup grand final, Patrician Brothers Fairfield’s number 12 pulled out all the stops.

He charged down a clearing kick, regathered and dived over the line in the 59th minute to lift his side to an incredible 20-16 comeback victory over Hills Sports High School at Leichhardt Oval on Wednesday afternoon.

When all seemed lost, Joshua Alhazim came up big. For his tireless efforts throughout an often brutal game, he was awarded the man of the match.

An impressive second-half performance proved the difference as Pats climbed off the canvas from 16 points down to take the title in the dying seconds.

Hills looked likely to win comfortably when they raced out a 16-0 lead early in the second half before Pats found their footing and poured on the pressure late. It was their first title since 1992.

Despite being the toast of his school, Alhazim was quick to share the glory among his teammates.

“It is a reward for all the boys’ hard work, the coaching staff, Frank (Pritchard), our principal. It is the reward for all their hard work over the years,” he said.

“I couldn’t thank them enough. The school have been supporting us for the last two years tremendously and we couldn’t have done it without them.”

Despite the early scoreline concern and losing prop Jordan Miller to the sin bin late in the first half, he never gave up hope.

“Every single game we went into this year, we never doubted it. We always thought we would come on top.”

Pats coach Frank Pritchard praised his team’s effort and determination.

“A lot of people had written us off, but the boys showed grit and resilience,” he said.

“That’s what we’ve done all year.”

The atmosphere was incredible, with a huge crowd enjoying a game of incredible twists and turns.

Hills got away early and led 10-0 at the break. Pats though turned the tables, winning the second half 20-6.

It was a trio of tries from captain Yehya Ayache, left wing Noah Funa and prop Miller that saw them rally to 16-14 with just minutes to play.

Alhazim then produced his magic.

Hills fullback Blake Metcalfe was one of the best for the losing side.

It was his four-pointer right on the halftime whistle that saw the side extend their lead.

It was followed by a try from five-eighth Jonathan Ibrahim early on in the second half.

The first half was a real arm wrestle. Despite both side entering enemy territory on multiple occasions, it was not until the 15th minute that points were added to the board, after Hills right wing Alaa Lababidi flew over the white line.

It was as if the weather knew what an important day it was, with the sunshine allowing for Campbelltown Stadium to be flooded with crowds.

Despite Westfields winning the second half 14-3, it was not enough to overcome their early deficit from the first 30 minutes, and will now be unable to defend their title as Schoolboy Cup champions.

It was the individual efforts of Westfields left wing Will Craig that kept them in contention, scoring two consecutive tries within two minutes in the second half, followed by a four-pointer from left center Roy Quiroz Mapusoa.
