The Illawarra Cutters have claimed a 21-20 victory over minor premiers Mounties in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW decider at Pirtek Stadium.
On a memorable day in which NSWRL said goodbye to one of Rugby League’s most iconic stadiums, the Cutters celebrated their first Intrust Super Premiership NSW title in the club’s short history.
A 73rd minute field goal from Illawarra halfback Drew Hutchinson proved the difference giving the Cutters a lead they defended to the end.
Having made all three NSWRL Grand Finals, Mounties managed just the one victory as the club’s Ron Massey Cup side claimed a comfortable 36-16 win over St Marys.
East Campbelltown Eagles caused a major upset in the Sydney Shield, defeating a Mounties side who had won 21 consecutive matches heading into Sunday’s Grand Final.
