Comfortable win for Woy Woy

Woy Woy Rugby Union Club scored a comfortable win over The Entrance at Woy Woy Oval on June 26, running out winners by 31 points to seven.

Woy Woy was always in control and the five tries to one victory was an accurate indicator of the flow of the game, according to Central Coast Rugby Union president Mr Larry Thomson.

"Best for Woy Woy were Marlon Counsell, who scored 16 points for his team, and forward Dave Gooley who had a strong game," Mr Thomson said.

"The Entrance was best served by the consistent Andrew Long."

Meanwhile, Woy Woy played out a "tight encounter" against Avoca Beach with 18 points to 13 on June 19.

"Woy Woy led at the halftime break by 13 points to 11 but were unable to post any points in the second half," Mr Thomson said.

"Avoca Beach did finish slightly the stronger and were able to score the only points of the second stanza.

"Avoca Beach had several good players but none were better than five-eight Lenny Beckett, hooker Josh Smith and fullback Layne Fletcher.

"Woy Woy were best served by prop Callum Mead, flanker Nick Garnett, and Number Eight Luke Serevi.

"The win moves Avoca Beach into third spot and leaves Woy Woy hanging dangerously just out of the top four.

"It was an impressive performance by both teams and again illustrates the closeness of this competition."

Following round 11, Woy Woy sits at fifth place on the competition ladder on 24 points with a postponed match yet to be played on July 15.
