Second in sevens

Woy Woy Rugby Union team placed second in a recent rugby sevens tournament in the Northern Territory.

As a result, tournament organisers have invited them back next year.

Playing against sides from around Australia including past and future Australian sevens representatives, the Woy Woy Rugby team played beyond expectations in the tournament to reach the quarter finals.

Throughout the tournament, Woy Woy raised eyebrows with its impressive play against teams much more used to the Darwin conditions.

Woy Woy provided a formidable challenge to the eventual winners, the Darwin Dingoes, being the only team to score against them up to the finals.

Woy Woy defeated Casuarina, South Darwin and Tindale, the air force team.

Woy Woy was defeated by Darwin Dingoes and the Katherine Dingoes.

Woy Woy has now placed this tournament on its calendar as an annual pre-season event for their lead-up to the Central Coast rugby season.

Previous winners and participants in the tournament included Sydney University and Randwick, as well as Singapore and Hong Kong national squads.
