Roosters hold presentation night

Woy Woy Rugby League Football Club held its presentation night at Woy Woy Leagues Club on October 28.

The 19-year-old fullback Mitchell Manson was named Best and Fairest First Grade Player.

In front of a large gathering, which included the Junior Roosters Under-11 and Under-13 Premiership winning teams, Manson held off legendary Roosters Troy McLellan (Most Consistent Back) and Scott Wilesmith (Most Consistent Forward) in a run to the line.

Both veterans received special presentations recognising their achievements over 14 seasons with the Roosters.

Other major award winners on the night included Ryan Wallbank (Reserve Grade), Alan Bennett (Open Age), Parrish Newham (Under-18 ones) and Andrew Jackson (Under-18 twos).

Parrish Newham and Tim Wilson were awarded the Brad McKee Memorial Trophy and Jason Taylor Memorial Trophies respectively.

Special Milestone awards were made to Tim Bovis, Ryan Drew and Adam Tippett for playing 50 First Grade Games, Brad Harridge and Clint Israel (100 Grade Games) and Alex Baxter, Alan Bennett, Brent Bovis, Jarrad Flack, Adam Mears, Shaun O'Cass and Adam Wysocki, who all played their 50th Grade game for the Roosters during 2012.

Popular volunteer Bruce Richards was awarded the President's Trophy for his outstanding contribution to the Woy Woy RLFC during the Season.

Preparations for the Clubs' 2013 season are well underway with First Grade under the coaching of Aaron Hardman, who is taking on the reins following the retirement of 2012 co-coach Adam Tippett.
