Rugby players represent Coast in championships

A number of Woy Woy rugby players represented the Central Coast during the NSW Country Rugby Championships held in Warren over the last weekend of April.

The highlight of the championships was the performance of the Senior 1st XV who won both their matches over the weekend to become NSW Country Champions.

On the first day, Central Coast played Far North Coast and were convincing winners by 36 points 21.

Although Far North Coast came back at the Central Coast team in the second half, the lead of 33 points to seven at halftime had all but secured the win.

The big win sent the Central Coast into the final of the Richardson Shield on the Sunday.

They were to meet the local team Western Plains.

In front of a big crowd, the match saw Central Coast take control from the opening whistle.

The team led by 33 points to nil at halftime and the team had silenced the home crowd.

Central Coast went on to win by 47 points to 19.

It was an exceptional win on the scoreboard but it was at the same time a hard physical match.

Ethan Church, Sione Fauna, Mitch Leonard and Nick Moors all represented Woy Woy in the Colts team.

The Central Coast Colts had a tough couple of days.

They improved greatly as the weekend progressed but were unable to trouble either of their opposition teams.

They lost easily to Central West on the Saturday by 44 points to 7.

It was a far more concerted effort on Sunday, and although the score against Illawarra was locked at 17 points all at halftime, they went on to lose by 38 to 22.

In the Women's 7's, Woy Woy was represented by Madelaine Thomsen, Megan Stokie, Holly Johnstone and Aliyah Rodominski.

The Women 7's had a wonderful campaign.

The team played five matches over the weekend, winning three.

They were the unlucky team at the Championships but did play very good rugby.

The team finished fifth at the Championships and performed very well.

Two very close losses on the first day prevented them from reaching the semi-finals on day two.

Woy Woy did not field any players in the Seniors team.
