Woy Woy fields Colts rugby side

First grade rugby union coach Mr Ross Hopkins has announced that Woy Woy will field a Colts side in next year's competition.

The side will be coached by experienced first grade player Benny Bula.

"It is an exciting time to be a part of Woy Woy Rugby Club," according to Mr Hopkins.

"We had a great 2004 season and now with Benny coming on board as the Colts' coach, we hope to attract new players to the club," Mr Hopkins said.

The club will compete in the annual Northern Territory 7's tournament in January as a lead up to the winter season.

"Playing and training in the tropics in January is hard work for the six days we are there but certainly a great experience and a great lead into the domestic season," he said.

Woy Woy Rugby Union has started its 2005 campaign with preseason training underway.

The club plans to train until Christmas at Ettalong Gym and the PCYC at Umina on alternate Tuesdays.

Anyone interested in playing senior or junior rugby for Woy Woy or going to its pre-season trip to Darwin should telephone 0417 828 346 for more details.
