Junior Lions presentations

Woy Woy Lions Junior Rugby Union Club held its presentation day at Ettalong Oval on Sunday, October 23.

The Club Players of the Year awards went to Lachlan Shelly in the under-11s, Jack Alipate the under-12s, Max Edwards the under-13s, Jive Johnston the under-14s, Joss Morrison the under-15s, Damien Fleming the under-16s and Jake Harding and Connor Stanton shared the under-17s award.

The Pride of the Lions awards, given to people who help the club in an unofficial capacity, were this year presented to Neil "Pa" David and Jurgen Hundt

"Jurgen was up very early every Saturday morning to help ground manager Mick Dean set up and he would then help pack up at the end of the day," said Woy Woy Rugby Union publicity officer Mr Bill MacLean.

"Neil, or Pa as he's known to all at the club, has been chief barbecue man for many years due to his grandsons, Pat and Liam Hines playing.

"As the two boys will now be playing as a part of the seniors at Woy Woy Oval, Pa is expected to be moving on with them and will be very much missed not just for his work, but everyone loves having him around."

The club's major award, Club Person of the Year went to canteen and clothing manager Cathy MacLean for all her hard work during the year.

"You do these things for the kids not the awards but it's nice to be recognised by the club's committee," said Ms MacLean.
