Junior club makes presentations

Woy Woy Junior Rugby League Football Club held its presentation day at Woy Woy Leagues Club on October 19, to recognise the club's outstanding players throughout the season.

"The Mini League and Mod League presentations were held during the day for our younger players and, for the first time, international players were treated to an evening sit-down formal dinner held at Woy Woy Leagues Club," club secretary Mr Russell Downey said.

"The international players also played host to special guest presenters, dignitaries and sponsors for an evening of dining and award presentations."

Major award winners for players with the most potential were presented to Mini League's Kyle McLean, Mod League's Alfredo Araya and International Player James Coote.

Other major award winners were Jason Hayward who received the Rod Fowler Memorial Trophy for Under-16's Players Player and Luke Ellard for the Glen Bourke Memorial Trophy for Under-15's Players Player.

The President's Trophy for Most Improved Under-16's Player went to Brayden Williame and the President's Trophy for Most Improved International Player went to Ryan Kirwan.

The Coach of the Year award was presented to Wayne Hayward and joint winners Billie Drewe and Lorraine Rowe received Club Person of the Year.

"The 2008 season saw Woy Woy Juniors field a total of 22 teams along the way, showing that there is a wealth of talent emerging from our ranks," Mr Downey said.

"While success on the field in the 2008 season was not tangible, the prospects for future years in our Mini and Mod League look extremely encouraging.

"The club has plans in place for a new development program for our junior players to be introduced in the 2009 season."
