Woy Woy suffers stinging defeat

The Central Coast Rugby Union Competition is a third of the way through its season with teams desperate to lessen the gaps forming in the competition ladder.

In their Round 6 clash with Avoca Beach, Woy Woy suffered a stinging 21-10 defeat.

Despite being a tight match throughout, Avoca managed to take the lead and run with it until the end.

Woy Woy opened the scoring with an early penalty goal but the home-side answered this with 14 points of their own to close out the first half.

Woy Woy kicked off the second half with some much needed points, bridging the score to 4-10.

From then on the match was up for grabs with both sides fighting hard for the win.

It was a converted try that sealed Woy Woy's fate.

Woy Woy had several very good players but none were better than Nick Garnett, Lapana Vitale, who scored their try, and Damien Fleming.

These two teams are just out of the top four and the next few weeks will be most crucial for them both in terms of the Finals Series.
