Good season for Swans

The Woy Woy Peninsula Swans are having a fantastic season in the Black Diamond Australian Football League, according to League general manager Mr Scott Ledwidge.

Playing their home games at Rogers Park, Woy Woy, and travelling to their opposition's grounds on the Central Coast and in Newcastle, they have won seven of 10 matches.

"Currently sitting third on the ladder in the first division competition, they should make a strong presence in this season's final series starting August 18," Mr Ledwidge said.

"They had the bye in Round 14 which gave all players a break to refresh for the last part of the season and also the chance to have a look back at what they have achieved so far this year.

"In Round 13, the Swans thrashed Terrigal Avoca, 17-20-122 to 2-2-14.

"Mark Edmondson lead the way kicking six goals to take his season tally to 65 and Dennis Cardwell has judged best on ground.

"Woy Woy accounted for fourth placed Killarney Vale wining 12-11-83 to 10-6-67 the week before.

"Seventeen-year-old Josh Brown kicked three goals and was equal best on ground with Shane Higgins.

"The club is happy with the way they are travelling at the moment and look to increase intensity at training and on game day to ensure a successful finals campaign."

Mr Ledwidge said that next year the Woy Woy Peninsula would enter a side into the Black Diamond Cup, which is the top tier in the Black Diamond League.

The next game will be played on Saturday, July 28, at Rogers Park where the Swans will take on ladder leaders, Lake Macquarie Crows.

The Under-18s team will play Lake Macquarie at 10am before the main game.
