Three Roosters' teams in semi-finals
The Woy Woy Roosters Rugby League Football Club saw mixed results after fielded three teams in week one of the semi finals on August 29.
Having won seven successive matches to reach the finals, Woy Woy first grade had a tough contest against the Erina Eagles going down 36 to 28 at fulltime, according to club president Mr Geoff Staunton.
"After grinding out a second half lead, the Roosters wilted badly with some decisions and errors proving their downfall," Mr Staunton said.
"After losing Geoff Wilkin and Glenn McLellan in the early stages, the Roosters battled gamely, led by Adam Tippett who capped off a fine season leading from the front and nearly getting the boys home.
"Along with Adam, the great Jade Mason finished his stellar 220 first grade game career in top form and received solid support from Cheyne Hall, Drew Neist and Ryan Drew who caused havoc out wide.
"Following the match, tough prop forward Mick Maryska also announced his retirement. "
Meanwhile Woy Woy's reserve grade side "turned the tables" on Toukley with an 18 points to four victory and a 24 to four win over Ourimbah in the minor semi final.
They will now compete for a spot in the grand final against Berkeley Vale with a finals match on September 12 against Erina.
Results for this game were unknown at the time Peninsula News went to print.
