Bunnies re-sign top player

Umina Beach Rugby League Football Club has re-signed the Central Coast District Rugby League Player of the Year, Todd Maloney, to lead the Bunnies as they prepare to defend their Premiers Title

Senior vice-president Mr Ian Sonter said: "The majority of last season's first grade squad are already down at First Class Fitness, putting in the hard yards.

"With the added knowledge that some talented younger players are also aiming for a first grade starting position in 2006, this augurs well for the coming year as it shows that all players are not going to be resting on what they have already achieved."

The club will field four teams this coming season, in first grade, second grade, under-19s and under-17s.

Coaches will be Nathan Johnson for first grade, Frank Johnson for second grade, Peter Shaw for the under-19s assisted by John King and Dylan Francis for the under-17s.

Mr Sonter said several businesses who had joined the Bunnies as sponsors for next year including Umina Beach Charcoal Chicken, Umina Gourmet Deli, Amcal Radfords Pharmacy Umina and Go Vita Umina Beach.
