Rugby union starts training

Woy Woy Rugby Union has launched into pre-season training for the 2008 Season.

New first grade coach Paul Birkwood said the seniors had been enjoying beach sessions at Umina Surf Club on Thursday afternoons at 6:30pm.

"We are really excited about the 2008 season," he said.

"We have a wealth of talent from the juniors coming through and many of the old stalwarts are back again.

"We are looking to be really proactive in 2008 by revitalizing the club house and getting the Peninsula community back into rugby union."

Mr Birkwood said Woy Woy Rugby had one of their strongest seasons this year with the juniors coming second in the championship.

He said pre-season training was open to all players whether they were looking to play socially or "strive for higher honours".

"Social touch footy is also being held on Friday afternoons and Sunday morning; families and kids are welcome," Mr Birkwood said.
