Former local wins League awards
Former Woy Woy Rugby League Football Club player Akuila Uate has been named as Dally M Winger of the Year and Top Try Scorer at this year's Dally M Awards.
The Newcastle Knights winger and former Brisbane Water Secondary College student received the two top honours at an awards ceremony in Sydney on September 7.
Uate grew up in a small village on Fiji's coral coast and came to Australia to live with his father and step mother in Woy Woy at age 15.
It was not long before the young Fijian was playing football with Woy Woy Roosters before being snatched up by the Newcastle Knights.
