Three-peat for St Paul’s in Auckland Rugby League

PicturePhoto credit: Photosport
​St Paul's College have captured a third-straight SAS College Rugby League Premiership title, beating Kelston Boys' High School 16-4 in Wednesday night’s final.
 
A frantic opening left both sides scrambling with early errors but it was Kelston that struck first with a try out wide for a 4-0 lead.
 
Four minutes later and St Paul's were given full use of the ball inside the attacking 20.
 
St Paul’s went close to scoring twice, through second rower Christian Tuipulotu and centre Star Toa, before prop Sione Ngahe stormed through the pack carrying up to four players to score under the posts. Halfback Jaelin Murray kicked perfect off the boot to take a 6-4 lead over Kelston at halftime.
 
It took 10 minutes before points were scored in the second stanza.

​ 
St Paul's second rower Matthew Palu accelerated down only to be held up just short of the line. A quick play of the ball and shuffle to the left saw centre Timor Williams score in the corner extending their lead 10-4. Standoff Sione Moala converted to get up 12-4.
 
With just ten minutes remaining, Kelston gave away a penalty which ultimately cost them the match.
 
St Paul's hooker Lewis Sio kicked a chip up over the top putting the game beyond doubt when Timor Williams collected his second extending the lead to 16-4.
 
"We knew it was going to be a tough game," said Kelston captain Johnny Falelua-Malio.
 
"St Paul's were just the better team tonight. All we can do is learn from it [and] come back bigger, faster and stronger as we look forward to Nationals in a couple of weeks."
 
St Paul's captain Daetyn Tanuvasa said he was proud of the boys' efforts.
 
"The boys have worked really hard for this win tonight," he said.
 
"We needed to learn from our previous games against them [Kelston] and bring all of our teachings onto the field tonight."
 
"We're just really overwhelmed right now," he quipped.
