Belinda CiprianoWestern Suburbs Weekly

A second half surge saw Wests Scarborough book their spot in the decider with a 26-9 win over Cottesloe at Bennett Park on Saturday afternoon.

The first half was a back-and-forth physical affair with Cottesloe scrumhalf Charl Nieuwenhuis and Wests’ flyhalf AJ Alatimu trading three penalty goals apiece to head into half time locked at 9-9 after 40 minutes.

In the second half, the Wests gained advantage through the set piece but neither side got a decisive edge. The minor premiers then opened the floodgates however, with two tries in quick succession coming from Jordan Luke and Angus Taylor to book a place in the 2016 decider with a 17-point victory.
