Lions win two matches

The Woy Woy Lions Rugby Club have won their last two matches played against The Entrance and Terrigal, giving them a slim hope of being involved in the play offs later in the year.

The side travelled to The Entrance on Saturday, June 25, and won a hard-fought contest 18 points to 5.

Try scorers for the Lions were Angus Stewart, Mitch Hyde with Andrew McNamara kicking two conversions and a penalty.

Best for the Lions on the day were Nick Garnett, Matthew Hopkins and Angus Stewart.

The side then had its first home game in a month against Terrigal on Saturday, July 2, eventually winning 19 points to 12.

The game was delayed due to an injury which resulted in an ambulance being called during the second grade game.

This was followed by two more ambulances being called during the course of the first grade game to cart Terrigal players off to casualty.

The game eventually ended under lights and stretched close to two and a half hours due to all the stoppages.

"The Lions were never headed on the score board and while the score line flattered the Terrigal side, the Lions showed that if they play out the 80 minutes then they can match it with any side above them in the competition," said Lions publicity officer Mr George Simpkins.

Tries went to Nick Cama, Kevin Pike and Kane Byrne with Andrew McNamara converting two of the tries.

Best for the Lions on the day were Glenn Touzel, Danny May, Paul Gooley, Dave Best and Matthew Hopkins.

They play Northlake's at Woy Woy Oval on July 9.
