Warnervale wins 'see-sawing match'
Warnervale travelled to Woy Woy Oval to meet home team Woy Woy in round 12 of Central Coast Rugby Union competition played on Saturday, July 13, but it was Warnervale which won the day by 45 points to 14.
It was a see-sawing match but it was always Warnervale who were in charge on the scoreboard, according to rugby union publicity officer Mr Larry Thomson.
Warnervale crossed for two converted tries in the first seven minutes to take an early 14 points to nil lead.
"It was certainly the start they wanted but not what the home team needed.
"Woy Woy did strike back then with their own try to make the score 14-7 at the midway point of the first half.
"The match did even out at that stage with Warnervale only able to cross for their third converted try close to halftime.
"Warnervale went to the halftime break leading by 21 points to 7 and were definitely in control at that stage.
"The second half continued in much the same vein.
"Warnervale continued to post tries while Woy Woy never gave up in trying to prevent them scoring.
"Warnervale did post a further 24 points in the second half while Woy Woy were only able to respond with their second converted try in that same period.
"Woy Woy saw good performances from hooker Tim Cook, halfback Mitch Hyde and No.8 Tali Sitani."
In Premier 2, Warnervale defeated Woy Woy 62-12.
