Juniors win major awards

Woy Woy Junior Rugby League Football Club achieved three major awards at this year's Central Coast Division of Junior Rugby League presentation night.

Club president Mr Tim McParlane said the club was extremely proud to be recognised at this year's awards ceremony.

"Our Under-13/3s side, who were this year's grand final premiers, won both the Best Attacking International Team Division Two or Three Award and the Best Defensive International Team Division Two or Three Award," Mr McParlane said.

"Woy Woy Juniors were well represented at the awards night, and it was a very proud moment to see captain Jayden Beesley and vice captain Liam Whitfield accept these awards on behalf of their team.

Mr McParlane said the other major winner for the club was Under-16/2s captain Mitchell Manson who took home the Division Under-16/2s Best and Fairest Player Award.

"Mitchell has at all times been a tremendous representative of Woy Woy Juniors both on and off the field," Mr McParlane said.

"It is a credit to Mitch's character, determination, passion and commitment to return this season following a very serious knee injury received in 2008, and to lead the Under-16/2s side this season.

"Mitchell received points awarded by referees in every match he played this season, this was a mark of his consistency with the ball in attack showing great skills and direction steering the team around the park as well as in defence and continuously putting his body on the line and punishing the opposition."
