This Saturday promises to be exciting day of rugby league action with a Harrigan Cup double-header at Collegians Sporting Complex. First up, Dapto face De La Salle in a sudden-death minor semi-final before, minor premiers, Collegians, take on the defending premiers Wests for a spot in the Grand Final.
Collegians v Wests
There’s a rich history of finals matchups between these two teams, including their last encounter in the 2022 Grand Final, where Collegians emerged victorious 12-10.
More recently, Wests are one of only two teams to have defeated the minor premiers this year, a narrow 14-10 victory mid-season.
But Collegians have secured two victories this season against the Devils, including a decisive 34-16 win in their latest matchup.
Collies will come in fresh after earning a bye in Week 1, while the Devils had a hard-fought last minute win over Dapto.
