Westfields open league account with convincing home victory
WESTFIELDS got their season off to a flying start as they overcame Pershore Town 3-1 in their opening Hellenic League Premier Division fixture. On a good day for Danny Moon's side the signings of Jamie Clarke, Adam Saunston, George Clarke, Ben Johns and Dan Bufton were confirmed before the match. Fields quickly opened their league account courtesy of another summer signing Adam Sauntson. Aidan Clark hit the crossbar before Archie Muirhead was brought down, resulting in Bailey Fuller scoring from the penalty spot. Clark almost put the game to bed before the break, but headed Kane Kahaki's cross off-target. Following the break Mason Godsall went close before youngster Arwyn Walby fired into the side-netting. Godsall then turned provider as his free-kick was headed home by Cam Davies to seal the points. Pershore were rewarded for their efforts with a late goal but could not prevent Fields from a comfortable win. The win ended a summer of change at Allpay Park as Danny Moon took over as manager following the resignation of Nic Morgan. Fields' chief executive Andy Morris said: 'We were sorry to receive Nick Morgan's resignation, he did a good job for the two years in charge and we wish him well in the future. 'Danny Moon has been appointed and has a vast knowledge of the local scene and good experience at this level. 'He is an ex-Westfields player and is aware of the club's standards. We are excited with the squad Danny has assembled, he has good staff and everyone is keen for the new season. 'The Hellenic Premier is a very strong league again this season and l can envisage a good start being important as we want to be a challenging for a top six finish.' Westfields completed their pre-season preparations on Saturday with a 2-1 defeat against Southern League Premier League side Evesham United. Fields goalkeeper Jack Oxenham made two smart saves to keep the visitors at bay during the first half. Westfields then took the lead early in the second half when Bailey Fuller cut in from the right hand side and curled a shot past the goalkeeper. Oxenham could nothing to stop the visitors equaliser, courtesy of a header at the near post. Both sides then introduced substitutes for the final 15 minutes and Evesham snatched the lead with a cracking 25-yard pile driver from Ion Richards which flew into the top corner. Westfields came all out for an equaliser and Evesham survived some anxious moments in the last few minutes to win the game by a close margin of 2-1.

Malvern Town show ruthless side in Westfields win
MALVERN Town scored four first half goals as they overcame Westfields 4-2 at Allpay Park. Following their 3-3 draw against Caerau Ely on Saturday Fields had a tough test on their hands with the visit of non-league step four side Malvern. Advertisement Town were beaten play-off finalists in the Southern League Division One South last season and will be looking for promotion this term. Malvern broke the deadlock with their first sight on goal and just three minutes on the clock. A long throw-in was flick on inside the Fields box to Ben Hayes who fired low past the goalkeeper. The visitors showed their movement off the ball and almost found a way back through on goal, only for defender Adam Saunston to cut out a dangerous run. Higher graded Malvern remained a threat in the opening quarter of the match, but a last-ditch Cam Davies challenge saved the hosts. Advertisement Striker Aidan Clark went close to an equaliser up the other end and saw his effort take a wicked deflection past the goalkeeper before dropping just wide. Malvern were two goals ahead on the 14th minute when Ibrahim Olateju drove through the defence before finding a trialist to beat the goalkeeper. The hosts were three goals ahead four minutes later when Hayes picked up the ball outside the box and sent a wicked shot past goalkeeper Shay Sterry. Fields were searching for a way back into the game but almost conceded an unfortunate fourth goal when a chance shot bounced over the head of goalkeeper Sterry before bouncing back off the crossbar. Advertisement Sterry was kept busy in the first half and took command of his box on 34 minutes to stop a dangerous corner bouncing inside the box. Malvern were in the mood for further goals and Hayes was only denied his hat-trick by a fine Davies challenge. However, moments later the ball came onto the edge of the box for Joe Tumelty who tucked his effort into the bottom corner to make it 4-0 with 35 minutes gone. Moon's side reduced their deficit just two minutes later with a fine piece of skill by Clark who pulled the ball back to beat his marker and then netted. Heyes was determined to complete his hat-trick but sent his headed effort wide at the front post. Advertisement Clark continued to remain a threat for the visitors and saw his effort saved before Zac Powell was also denied by shot stopper Locke moments later. Two minutes before half-time Fields were back to 4-2 when Adam Hockey's long ball forward was knocked down by Clark into the path of Hayes. Malvern continued to look for more goals after the break and Curtis Smith sent a testing shot which flew over. Despite making a host of changes at the break Westfields and Sterry pulled off a spectacular save on the hour mark to deny Matt Ferguson's close-range header in Malvern's only second half chance.

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.'
