Rapid growth for junior rugby

Woy Woy Junior Rugby Union Club has increased from four to 10 teams this season, with a total of over 141 players registered in just its second year.

The club is one of the fastest expanding clubs on the Central Coast, with players aged five to 16 years, according to club secretary Ms Denise Stokie.

Ms Stokie said all teams were putting in a great effort resulting in many wins in the first two games of the season, despite most players having not played rugby before.

The Under-16s side has won both of its games.

Ms Stokie said the under-8s also had fun playing two-handed touch.

Woy Woy Junior Rugby Union Club will have Ettalong Oval as its home ground this season.

Council has development application approval for new amenities which will turn the oval into a much sought-after location, Ms Stokie said.
