Roosters receive recognition

The Woy Woy Roosters took out a number of awards at the Central Coast Rugby League end of season awards dinner held on Wednesday, September 14, at the Central Coast Leagues Club

Hooker Chris Hyde became the eighth Roosters player to win the Central Coast medal for First Grade Player of the Year.

He was the first Roosters player to win the award since Jade Mason in 2006.

First grade coach Mr Les Lowe was named Coach of the Year for taking the Roosters nearly all the way to the Grand Final with one of the youngest teams it has had for many years.

In his two years as first grade coach, Mr Lowe guided the Roosters back into the finals after an absence of two years.

Fullback Mitch Manson, 18, was named Rookie of the Year after his debut season in first grade.

Manson scored six tries in 16 first grade matches and represented the Central Hunter Power under-18s side.

Rooster's under-19 centre Zane Rickit was named the Central Hunter Power under-18 Player of the Year, despite missing a major part of the season due to a motor vehicle accident.

The Woy Woy club was also awarded the Bob Taber Trophy for the Best Administered Club in Central Coast Rugby League for the year.
