Rugby loss to Woy Woy

Woy Woy Rugby Union first grade side fell to Northlakes 21 points to 7 on Saturday, April 30, at Slade Park.

"It appeared to be a relatively comfortable win but it was far from it," said Central Coast Rugby Union president Mr Larry Thompson.

The scores were locked at nil-all at the halftime break but Northlakes managed to score three converted tried in the second half to seal the win.

Two of Northlakes tries were intercepts and one was scored late in the game, making it a nail biter for Northlakes fans.

"Woy Woy went close to scoring on several occasions and to see two 50 metre tries to the opposition when they themselves were on attack would have been heartbreaking," said Mr Thompson.

"But Northlakes stuck in there, and with several players missing, will take a lot from the win," he said.

"Best players for Northlakes were winger Rohan McAuley and centre Brenton Law, while for Woy Woy Nick Garnett had a fine game and was rewarded with a try," he said.
