Triple O Cup played at Woy Woy

The Central Coast Triple 0 Cup will be held at Woy Woy Oval from 9am on Friday, September 21.

Emergency service units from across the State will take to the footy field in support of the burns unit at Gosford and Westmead Children's Hospital's.

The Cup has attracted 30 teams from Central Coast, Sydney and Newcastle Fire Brigades as well as from the Ambulance Service, NSW Police and Broken Bay Water Police.

A raffle and sports memorabilia auction will be held from 12pm to raise money for the burns unit.

The auction will feature a number of rugby league and union jerseys including South Sydney Rabbitohs, Parramatta Eels and Wallabies RWC team jersey.

Other sports memorabilia to be auctioned off include a fire helmet signed by the last seven Wallaby captains and a cricket bat signed by Mark Waugh.

Umina Fire Station officer Mr Bill MacLean said the auction will be a great opportunity for sports memorabilia collectors to come and make a bid.

"The station is hoping to raise as much money as possible on the day, with all proceeds going to the burns unit at Westmead Children's Hospital and Gosford Hospital," Mr MacLean said.

"This will be the fifth year that firefighters from the NSW Fire Brigade have run this event on the Central Coast in its commitment to the treatment and rehabilitation of sick children.

"We are looking forward to a fun day and encourage everybody to come along and support a good cause."
