Record numbers at rugby training

Pre-season training for Woy Woy Rugby Union has seen record numbers of players participating, according to club secretary Mr Kevin Dearlove.

Mr Dearlove said that First Grade coach Paul Burkwood had invited Gordon's Rugby Club Second Grade coach to assist in training drills and fitness.

"The session was greatly appreciated by all the players," Mr Dearlove said.

"All players and coaches enjoyed a barbecue after training at Umina Beach Surf Club."

Senior player Dave Plunkett said: "The boys are all training hard and enjoying themselves.

"It's great to see the younger guys come through and step up to the increased intensity and speed.

"We have got to put in the hard yards now if we want to dominate sides like Gosford and Terrigal."

Mr Dearlove said Woy Woy Rugby was looking to dominate both senior and junior grades next year and invited players of all skills and motivation to join in at training and numerous social events.
