Sean Minns sliced the Boardies defence right open and sprinted across the try line six times. Captain Beau Kettle barged over the try line four times. Chris Hanlon and Jahbe Latham both scored two a piece. Blayne Lambert-Bignell, Jacob Cook and Joel Wilkes added a try each. Alex Pearce was kicking the ball from all sides of the field and managed to convert nine tries, and Joel Wilkes converting one himself. The final score was Kendall Blues 88 and Lake Cathie Boardies 0.
Assistant coach Dustin Prosser is extremely pleased with the Kendall Blues.
“The Blues are just getting better and stronger each game,” he said.
“With the finals fast approaching the Blues are heading in the direction Beau and I were hoping for.
“They have impressed us immensely.
“Great effort also by the Boardies by giving the Blues everything they had for the full 80 minutes.”
The match was marred by a serious injury to Daniel Minns, who took an extremely heavy knock late in a tackle and was later admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Port Macquarie Base Hospital. The Kendall Blues family wish Minnsy a swift recovery.
Congratulations to Joel Wilkes who played his 50th game for the Kendall Blues and Anthony Conlan for players’ player.
