Woy Woy has rugby victory

Woy Woy scored its first victory of the season in Round 11 of the Central Coast Rugby Union competition played on Saturday, June 30.

Woy Woy defeated Warnervale 24-23 at Woy Woy Oval in what Central Coast Rugby Union president Mr Larry Thomson described as a great game with plenty of action.

"Both teams were able to cross for three tries in what was a close one throughout.

"Warnervale led by 10 points to eight at the half time break, and also by 21 to 18 late in the game, but Woy Woy were able to score their final try late in the game to seal the win.

"Woy Woy will take a lot of satisfaction from the win and Warnervale will rue the defeat despite the fact that they know they played well.

"Best for Woy Woy were prop Kevin Pike and hooker Nick Garnett who were both all over the paddock for the entire 80 minutes.

"Richard Aholelei and Ritchie Houston were outstanding for Warnervale and they simply never stopped trying," Thompson said.
