Woy Woy loses to Northlakes

Woy Woy Rugby Union first grade team went down to Northlakes at Woy Woy Oval by 55 points to 26 in round 13 on Saturday, July 9,

Central Coast Rugby Union president Mr Larry Thomson said the match was high scoring and much tighter than the score line indicates.

Woy Woy opened the scoring with a try before Northlakes hit their straps with four tries in the remainder of the first half.

Northlakes led by 26 points to five at the half time break and the match appeared to be all over but Woy Woy fought back in the early stages of the second half.

The scores were fairly close midway through the second half before Northlakes confirmed their win in the latter stages of the game.

"It was an exciting game of rugby with plenty of try scoring action," said Mr Thomson.

"Woy Woy never gave in.

"Their best players on the day were Nick Garnett and Steve Martin," he said.
