The sports included open boys’ and under 14 rugby league, under 15 boys’ and girls’ soccer and open girls’ touch football.
The first game saw Bulahdelah win the under 14s rugby league with a convincing 34-10 victory.
The under 15 girls’ soccer team played Gloucester and went down 5-0, but this result did not reflect the intensity and competiveness of the game.
The open girls’ touch team had a wonderful 3-2 victory with Claudia Holt, Bianca Mason and Kiara Fardell starring for the home team.
The under 15 boys soccer team were the next to display their skills and after a hard fought game came away with a meritorious 2-1 win.
The main game, the open rugby league was a cracker between two very committed teams.
Bulahdelah took an early lead after Jake Curnow barged over. Not long after, Jake scored his second and it looked like an easy victory was on the cards. Gloucester responded well and after a see-sawing second half the scores at full time, were locked at 18 all.
For the first time in the history of the cup, golden point rules were applied and it didn’t take long to get a result. Kyan Briffa dug deep and used his strength to scramble over and seal a 22-18 victory for the home team.
