Best performance for Woy Woy

In what has been described as its "best performance of the year", Woy Woy Rugby Union's first grade side defeated The Entrance 103 to nil in round 17 of competition.

Central Coast Rugby Union president Mr Larry Thomson said Woy Woy was "relentless" in its huge won over The Entrance at Woy Woy Oval on August 15.

"They were able to run in 15 tries during the game and this puts them in great form for the final game of the season against Terrigal," Mr Thomson said.

In other results for round 15, Woy Woy second grade also came out on top with a 31 to 29 win against The Entrance, while the Colts division saw Woy Woy defeated 15 to 12 by Ourimbah.

As for previous games in round 16 of competition played out on August 8, Woy Woy first grade were defeated 43 to nil by Avoca who remain at second place on the ladder.

"Avoca Beach proved too strong for Woy Woy at Woy Woy Oval, running out winners by 43 points to nil," Mr Thomson said.

"The game was quite competitive in the first half but the further the game went on Avoca Beach did assert their authority.

"The half time score was 14 points to nil to Avoca Beach and they were certainly not getting it all their own way.

"Some dogged Woy Woy defence was keeping them from scoring and the home side was certainly in the game at the halfway mark.

"Best for Avoca Beach were lock Emile Thomas and centre Lenny Beckett who was able to cross for two tries.

"Woy Woy defended well but Avoca Beach got stronger and stronger the further game went on.

"Five-eight Andrew McNamara played very well for Woy Woy and the defence of centre Nathan Barrett was a feature for Woy Woy."
