Narrow rugby victory for Warnervale
Warnervale recorded a narrow victory over Woy Woy at Woongarrah Oval, running out victors by 10 points to 5 in round two of Central Coast Rugby Union competition on Sunday, April 23.
"This was a physical, hard battle from start to finish," said publicity officer Mr Larry Thomson.
"There was absolutely nothing in this match.
"Warnervale led by 5-0 at half time, so it was obviously anyone's match at the break.
"Warnervale scored a try in each half.
"It was obvious the defence from both teams was outstanding.
"Woy Woy did cross for a try right on fulltime but it was all too late for them.
"It was a vital win for Warnervale but the match did show that both teams will be competitive this season and will cause problems for all oppositions this year."
Best players for Woy Woy were No.8 Tane Lilo, flanker Bruce Folua and fullback Paea Fatuainga Nau were their best contributors.
In Women's 10s matches Warnervale struggled to overcome an improving Woy Woy team, 24-19.
