WENTWORTHVILLE five-eighth Albert Kelly scored what is being described as the fastest try in league history at the weekend - and then, for good measure, he scored four more.
Kelly wasn't listed in the program for the NSW Cup game against Newtown at Henson Park on Saturday but he did play and made an impact within seconds.
Wentworthville kicked off, but not far, and the ball bounced back to Kelly, who was following through three players in on the left-hand side. He grabbed the ball, zipped between two defenders and was over to score under the posts - in nine seconds.
Rip Taylor, the Wentworthville coach, said last night he had been initially upset because the kick-off had been too shallow. "I was blowing up because it hadn't gone deep," Taylor said. "But then Albert grabbed the ball and was over for a try. It all happened pretty quickly. Albert certainly knows his way around the football field."
It was the start of a long day for the Jets, who trailed 46-0 at half-time and went on to lose 60-10.
