The Newcastle City under 18's side continued their remarkable run during the second half of the season disposing of the Cardiff Hawks in the First Semi Final at Newcastle's No.1 Sportsground. In a fast, open and highly skilled match the Blues were able to hold out a gallant Hawks outfit by 33-points.
Lucas Gorton was in superb touch for the Blues taking out Best on Ground honours and with Wozniak and Haines holding down the backline the side's three key senior players where in great touch.
The side now progresses through to the Preliminary Final to meet either Gosford or Lake Macquarie in a fortnight.
A special mention to a number of the lads who backed up after playing in the under 16's on Friday night. The under 16's who are undefeated this season have now booked their place in the Grand Final and we wish them the best of luck.
