Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Westfields Sports High v Central Coast Sports College
Don't miss out on the headlines from Rugby League Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. Carter Mareko to Isaac Fotu-Moala to Dayne Jennings. Rinse and repeat. The Central Coast Sports College trio were first class as they led a first-half demolition of Westfields to book their spot in the Peter Mulholland Cup finals. The trio combined to help set up or score five tries in the first half, as Central Coast stormed their way to a 42-10 win at McCredie Oval. CHECK OUT THE FULL MATCH REPLAY ABOVE It was a simple gameplan that was executed to perfection and that will haunt Jason Demetriou's players at Westfields Sports High as they spend the next year wondering just what happened. Fotu-Moala opened the scoring inside three minutes after supporting a Jennings line break back through the middle. The slick five-eighth did it twice more in the first half, with Mareko and Jennings taking turns setting him up with their sharp footwork beating the front line. Fotu-Moala's first half hat-trick was separated by a double to flying winger Corbin Devaney who made little mistake on the end of almost carbon copy inside work from the school's star trio. It was a first half blitz with Central Coast scoring 32-unanswered points before the break. Westfields will take plenty away from their second half performance, with the injection of utility back Cooper Carr sparking the fight from the western Sydney nursery. Hayden Bell tried his heart out at dummy-half while skipper Zain Alameddine had a hand in both of the school's second half tries. With the win Central Coast move to second in Pool D with a 2-1 record, progressing to the finals for the second-straight season along with pool leaders St Gregory's College. Westfields, who have now missed the finals two years in a row, will have to wait for next year's Peter Mulholland Cup to make their mark on the NRL Schoolboys Cup. It's not the end of the action though, with several of the school's top stars heading away with the NSW CHS side next month at the ASSRL National Championships. PREVIEW Everything is on the line as Westfields Sports High and Central Coast Sports College go to battle in round three of the Peter Mulholland Cup. A spot in the quarter-finals awaits the winner, while the loser has to wait another 12 months for their shot at glory. The match will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV from 12pm Thursday. It wasn't always the case for WSHS to find itself in this position, when they trailed by 14 against Hills Sports High with a little over 10 minutes to play. From that point on their season changed, finishing with a flourish to keep them on track to advance to the next stage. 'I felt we looked a lot more cohesive in our second game,' Westfields coach Jason Demetriou said. 'We still have to tidy up some of our discipline, but there were some exciting signs. We come into this third game with a bit more fluency and are looking forward to the challenge.' Demetriou praised the way his troops were able to stick with it, not being disheartened by the scoreline and finding a way to claw out a win. 'I was really impressed with our resilience,' he said. 'To go almost the length (to win the game) with all our key players touching the ball, it was an impressive way to seal the game. 'Zain (Alameddine) was outstanding for us. In key moments he wanted the ball in his hands and when you have your captain wanting the ball like that, it's a good sign. 'Hayden Bell control the ruck really well and I thought our middles were really strong. Every player contributed.' He knows the task that awaits his side against a strong Central Coast outfit, but hopes they can take their upwards trajectory into the most important game of the season to date. 'For us it's to take the lessons (out of those first two games),' he said. 'I want us to take some confidence out of it too. Being able to get our senior players together at training has made a massive difference and the back up in a week helps. 'We're getting better every week.'

2025 NRL NSW Schoolgirls Cup: Central Coast Sports College v Westfields SHS
Don't miss out on the headlines from Rugby League Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. After going down in last year's NRL NSW Schoolgirls Cup final, the goal for Central Coast Sports College is a very simple one – 'to go one better'. The 18-0 loss to Hills Sports High was a dour way to end what was a terrific 2024 campaign that saw them finish atop Pool A with a 4-2 record. And while there may be a new coach at the helm in Blake Austin, the return of the bulk of the squad – combined with a number of fresh faces – has Central in a strong spot to achieve that goal this season. It all begins with an opening round clash against Westfields SHS on Wednesday that will be available live and free on the screens of KommunityTV from 11.45am. Austin, who worked as an assistant last year, said the group had been clear on what they wanted to achieve since losing last year's final. 'There is an eagerness to get going,' Austin said. 'We've had a huge focus on just one or two tiny tweaks from last year. I've obviously been pretty blessed to inherit a team that I was involved with last year, they don't need too much extra work. It's just a few new ideas from what I've seen last year that I think can help us. 'We have spoken about all trying to go one step further this year so hopefully we can start that with a win on Wednesday.' 'We know that won't be easy though. One thing you can count on with schools like Westfield is they're going to bring a certain level of footy. They'll have a large chunk of players from the junior rep systems so we have to be at our best but we will put it all out there on the field and hopefully it'll be enough.' Austin named Ella Knowles, pictured here in last year's grand final, as a player fans can expect to see have a big impact this season. Picture: Warren Gannon Photography As a father of three girls, it's no surprise Austin is enjoying working in the female space. And while he believes a large portion of that is because of the talent involved in the program, it's also because of their attitude towards the game. 'I absolutely love being in the female space,' he said. 'It's a really rewarding space to be in. The girls are very honest and they enjoy feedback. They are getting so clever in terms of dissecting the game and it's such a privilege to help them do that. 'I've got three daughters myself so between that and working with these girls, it's teaching me a lot about life. 'Our stocks here at the college in the female space are pretty remarkable. We've got girls wanting to come into the rugby league space on the daily from other sports and that's terrific.'
