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.'

‘Fear and chaos' as Bondi attack unfolded
A security supervisor has revealed the 'fear and chaos' that unfolded on the day of the Westfield Bondi Junction stabbing, saying he wished their team had done better. Six people were killed and 10 others were injured in the attack at Westfield Bondi Junction on April 13, 2024. Dawn Singleton, Yixuan Cheng, Faraz Ahmed Tahir, Ashlee Good, Jade Young and Pikria Darchia died in the incident. Cauchi, 40, had gone on a rampage through the palatial shopping centre with a WWII knife purchased at a camping store before being gunned down by NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott. A five-week coronial inquest into the deadly stabbing began last Monday, with the first week revealing never-before-heard details about the incident. Scentre Group operate a string of Westfields across Australia including Bondi Junction. The nature, timing, and adequacy of the response by Scentre Group and its subcontractors Glad Group and Falkon Security will also be examined in the inquest. A security guard and security supervisor working at the centre at the time told the court he wished things had been done differently as the fatal rampage unfolded. 'I wish I …did more to help those people,' he said. Bondi stabbing victims (top l-r) Dawn Singleton, Ashlee Good, Cheng Yixuan, (bottom l-r) Faraz Tahir, Jade Young and Pikria Darchia.

'But yeah, (upon) reflection I wish we did better — I wish we did different.' He told the court he wished they had been able to tell customers about the situation 'straight away', and that the centre management emergency override (CMEO) was activated sooner. The man paid credit to his team and said only two members had been able to return to full-time work, saying what they had all gone through weighed heavily on his mind. Bondi killer Joel Cauchi was shot dead by Inspector Amy Scott. Supplied. Credit: Supplied 'What we went through on that day was truly traumatic, and not everyone understands the fear and chaos we went through,' he told the court. He thanked team members for doing CPR and getting people to safety as best they could. 'I know that some of you are still carrying the weight of that day, and life hasn't been the same since,' he said. 'I see your strength, I recognise your pain, and I'm truly grateful to every single one of you — thank you for being there with me.' Newly released CCTV has captured the moment killer Joel Cauchi was pulled over for erratic driving in 2021, years before the fatal attack at Westfield Bondi Junction. The court was earlier told there were two staff members in the CCTV control room on level 4 on the afternoon of the attack, however, one had left about 3pm with his supervisor to undertake training on level 13 while the other left at 3.32pm to go to the bathroom. This meant there was 'no active CCTV monitoring in place' for the minute and forty seconds she was outside the room, and exactly 40 seconds later Cauchi attacked Ms Singleton, counsel assisting the coroner Peggy Dwyer SC earlier told the court. By the time the woman re-entered the control room Cauchi had attacked eight people, three of whom later died. The second security employee re-entered the CCTV control room by 3.36pm, however, all 16 people had been stabbed by then. Ms Dwyer said it appeared the CCTV room being vacant at that time impeded Scentre Group's response. 'Security staff were effectively behind the 8-ball – that is, they were then playing catch-up, catch up to understand what was unfolding,' Ms Dwyer said. An evacuation alert was used rather than one that warned of an AAO, and Ms Dwyer said it appeared appropriately warning customers and staff 'did not occur promptly' or 'in the way it should've done' on the day. mental health support
