Woy Woy 'far from disgraced' in 70-nil defeat

Terrigal convincingly defeated the Woy Woy Lions at Woy Woy Oval by 70 points to nil in Central Coast Rugby Union competition on Saturday, July 18.

However, Central Coast Rugby Union president Mr Larry Thomson said: "Woy Woy were far from disgraced.

"They know they played last year's Premiers first up and they will get stronger as the year progresses.

"They never stopped trying for the entire 80 minutes."

Terrigal crossed for 10 tries in the match, and five-eight Adam Danckert converted all 10 tries.

"The first quarter of the match was a very even affair with neither team giving an inch," Mr Thomson said.

"After this early evenly contested period, the Terrigal team sprung into action and Woy Woy simply had no answer to the visitor attack.

"Terrigal went to the halftime break leading by 35 points to nil, and were able to post the same number of points in the second half.

"Terrigal were very good and showed why even at this early stage of the season they are the competition frontrunners.

"They worked well as a unit for the whole 80 minutes.

"Best for Terrigal were five-eight Adam Danckert, who posted 25 individual points in the match, centre Arana Taumata and prop James Hall.

"Woy Woy were best served by back Wade Hannell who gave everything all day."

In Women's 10s rugby, Terrigal also easily accounted for Woy Woy.
