NRL Toyota Cup Season 2008
Encyclopedia
The 2008 National Youth Competition is the first season of the competition and is sponsored as the Toyota Cup. The draw and structure of the competition mirrors that of its first grade counterpart, the National Rugby League
.
A Spectacular try to second-rower Jarrad Kennedy seven minutes into golden-point extra time gave Canberra a thrilling 28-24 victory over Brisbane in the U20 rugby league grand final at ANZ Stadium.
Kennedy was mobbed by jubilant Raiders teammates after collapsing over the line in exhaustion after willing himself to back up centre Jarrod Croker
, who had collected a cross-field kick from halfback Matt Smith as the clock wound down.
Canberra won the hard way, though, recovering from 20-12 down early in the second half and then needing a missed conversion attempt from Broncos halfback Ben Hunt
to force extra time.
Gunning for their eighth straight victory, Brisbane made a worrying start, conceding a soft try to five-eighth Michael Picker
, which fullback Josh Dugan
converted for a 6-0 lead after 10 minutes.
The Broncos steadied and went to the interval with a 16-12 buffer after tries to Hunt, interchange forward Michael Spence
and winger Jharal Yow Yeh
.
The Broncos looked set to go on with the job when centre Brendon Gibb crossed out wide in the opening minutes of the second half, but the Raiders refused to lie down.
A second try to Michael Picker
and a goose-stepping four-pointer to winger Drury Low
, plus Dugan's heroics, eventually set the scene for Kennedy's match-winning play.
Half Time: Brisbane 16 – 12
Jack Gibson Medal: Josh Dugan
