Club contributes to rugby victory

Four players and four officials from Woy Woy Rugby Union took part in the recent victory by the Central Coast over Illawarra in the final of the Caldwell Cup.

It was the first time in 12 years that the Central Coast had won the title.

The players involved were Steve Lauti, Sione Tuitakau, Dave Henricks and Dave Plunkett.

The officials involved were forwards coach Ross Hopkins, trainer Gerry Summerhayes, manager John Kenney and strapper Bruce Sinclair.

The side had won games against Western Plains at Coonamble, against New England and Newcastle in home games.

They then went to Aussie Stadium and beat Central North 13 to 7 and by winning that game also won the Northern Provincial Championship Division.

Media liaison officer Mr George Simpkins said that by winning the Caldwell Cup the Woy Woy players would go down in Central Coast rugby union history as playing a major role in bringing home the title.
