Bunnies defeat Sharks

Umina Rugby League Football Club came out on top against the Terrigal Sharks, scoring 34 to 22 at Umina Oval on May 23.

Club secretary Mr Ian Sonter said the Sharks skipped away to a 12-nil lead after the Bunnies could only hold the ball for two of the first 10 minutes.

"True to the Bunnies' spirit, and never losing composure, the fightback began as the team rallied to lead at halftime.

"In the second half, a spurt on the scoreboard saw the Bunnies leading comfortably before the Sharks rallied for two late tries making the final score Bunnies 34 to Sharks 22.

Meanwhile Woy Woy second grade put the previous week's form in the cupboard and came out to defeat the Terrigal Sharks 44 to 12.

"Points were scored at regular intervals and it was only some last-ditch scrambling defence by the Sharks that stopped the points from flowing more," Mr Sonter said.

"Early on Tyler Millgate, Doug Woodger and Dan Slattery stamped the Bunnies authority with some bustling runs and solid defence which set the tone for the remainder of the match.

"The Open Grade once again had the game in control only to take the easy option and coast home, completely disregarding what had got them in front on the scoreboard.

"However this week they were unable to pull the win away from Gosford to Kariong going down 28 to 24 in an entertaining game."
