Junior Roosters receive awards

Two Woy Woy Junior Roosters players received awards at the Central Coast Division Junior Rugby League 2012 Presentation Night held at Mingara Recreation Club on Thursday, September 20.

Max Bovis was announced the Under-13 Representative-Best Forward for 2012 and later received the Mrs M Titchen Trophy for Best Player on Grand Final Day-International.

This trophy is judged by the Division Management Committee with the player selected from all players who played in International Grand Finals this year.

"For Max to receive both awards is a credit to him for all the hard work he has put in over the last couple of years," said Roosters' junior club president Mr Tim McParlane.

"Max's continued commitment and dedication along with a positive attitude has resulted in these well-deserved accolades.

"Both Mick and Jo, Max's mum and dad were as proud as could be, and rightly so, as were all the Roosters at the table," said Mr McParlane.

The night hadn't finished for the Woy Woy boys with the third last award of the night, the Grahame Wilkin Trophy for Best and Fairest Division Two Under-16 award, going to Kurt Burrell.

Kurt joined the club from Gosford after that team folded earlier in the year.

"Kurt was an instant spark to the Woy Woy team and was a consistent standout all year," said Mr McParlane.

"To be acknowledged as the Best and Fairest for the age group is just rewards for a top year of footy from Kurt.

"He is an outstanding attacking player with displays of absolute brilliance shown in every game.

"His chip and chase game being top class, Kurt is a young man with a ton of potential.

"I hope that he chooses to stay a Rooster and move into our senior Under-18s team in 2013 where he will once again be a valuable member of the squad."
