Premiership to junior Roosters
The Woy Woy Junior Rugby League Football Club Under-13/3s side capped off a fantastic year with a grand final victory over Terrigal by 24 points to 16 on September 12.
According to club secretary Mr Russell Downey, the Under-13/3 side, coached by Neil Whitfield, had a fantastic year playing the entire season undefeated until the major semi final when they were defeated by Terrigal in a "tough match".
"Not to be outdone however, the mighty Rooster side bounced back in the final defeating The Entrance 56 to nil in a show of dominance which had been a feature the entire season," Mr Downey said.
"Their grand final match had been scheduled to play at 5.45pm, and to keep the boys focused on the main prize, a club barbecue was held for players and their families at our home ground Rogers Park.
"Captain Jayden Beesley gave a speech on behalf of his team mates to the committee thanking them for their assistance and support throughout the year with player and team development.
"In what was a very exciting grand final match the Roosters went 12-nil up, only to see Terrigal fight back to be leading 16 points to 12 with 15 mins to go.
"With true Rooster spirit, Woy Woy fought back courageously to forge ahead 24 to 16 in what was an absolute nail biter of a match.
"Woy Woy player Justin Miles took out the referee's Man of the Match award, while Alfredo Araya and Jayden Beesley were the standout players of the match."
