Terrigal wins in scrappy soccer match
Terrigal travelled to Austin Butler Oval to take all three Premier League points in a scrappy game of soccer on Saturday, July 1, winning 3-1 against a struggling Woy Woy outfit.
Woy Woy remains last on the club championship ladder after 12 rounds.
After a good performance in their first-round clash, this reverse match was a chance for Woy Woy to prove they were good enough to challenge for the win.
Coming from playing at Pluim Park last week, Terrigal were slow to get used to the field and physicality in the game.
After missing a few good early chances, Terrigal were caught out early in the game after a long diagonal ball in and a counterattack found their number 9 as Jayke Brown chipped over a hesitant Ferragamo to give the home side a one-goal lead.
Woy Woy's lead then sparked Terrigal to lift another gear.
They found the equaliser shortly after a scrappy contest in the box fell to Aidan Bastick who fired home from close range to take the game to level terms at the break.
Terrigal started the second half the way they finished the first, in control of the contest and applying constant pressure to Woy Woy.
Terrigal eventually took the lead from another set-piece corner, when Angus Missen flicked the ball on from the front post for captain Jai McNamara to head home to give his side their first lead of the day.
Terrigal continued to create chances and midway through the second half Stu Adams scored a superb strike from 30 yards out into the top corner to give them some breathing room at 3-1.
This gave Pete Edwards a chance to make some substitutions and bring on some youngsters for their First Grade debut this year as they saw out the remainder of the fixture to claim their seventh win of the season and move into third place on the ladder.
Match official was Gerrod Young.
