Union side loses to Terrigal

Woy Woy Rugby Union Club has lost its round eight Central Coast Rugby Union match against Terrigal by 11 points to eight

Woy Woy nearly caused a huge upset at its home ground on Saturday, June 2, in what Central Coast Rugby Union president Larry Thompson, termed "a dour encounter for all involved".

"Both teams only scored the one try apiece so there was absolutely nothing in this match," he said.

Terrigal led by three points to nil at the halftime break so the result was "up for grabs", he said.

"Both teams scored a five pointer in the second half but the two penalty goals by Terrigal's Damien Woods was the difference.

"Woy Woy had a chance to square the game in the final minute with a penalty goal attempt but attempted to go for the win but with no luck.

"Best for Terrigal was half back Doug Angus who was outstanding all game.

"Best for Woy Woy was lock Matthew Hopkins who gave it everything all day and scored his team's sole try.

"The narrow win keeps Terrigal near the top of the ladder while Woy Woy get their second bonus point of the season."
