REPORT :
The 2023 Central Coast Rugby Union season saw several exciting matches yesterday in Round 10 action in local rugby. The season has now entered the second half of the season and every match is so vital in the race to the Finals.

The Match of the Day at Gosford Showground between Gosford and Hornsby proved to be a nail biter from start to finish. Gosford won the match by 25 points to 17 but the contest was an arm wrestle for the entire 80 minutes. The opening minutes saw play move from one end of the field to the other, with several try scoring chances going by the board. However it was Hornsby who opened the scoring with a converted try in the 18 th minute. Gosford were quick to respond with their own converted try to level the scores at 7 points apiece at the 23 rd minute mark. This remained the score until right on halftime when Gosford kicked a long range penalty goal to take the lead by 10 points to 7 – that was the halftime score. The first half saw some great rugby displayed by both teams and the match was certainly up for grabs at the midway stage of the match. The second half continued in much the same vein but it was Hornsby who levelled the scores at 10 all early in the second stanza. At this stage the match ebbed and flowed and it was not until half way through the half that Gosford broke the deadlock with two quick successive tries to lead by 20 points to 10. But Hornsby was not to be outdone. They pressured Gosford right to fulltime so the match was no way secured until the final minutes of the match. Both teams crossed for a further try in the latter stages of the match but it was Gosford who hung on for the victory. Best players for Gosford were halfback Ben Shelley, winger Josh Parish and hooker Joel Wagner. Hornsby had several good efforts from prop Russell Yates, halfback Ben Astley, lock Dominic Cole, fullback Jack O’Connor and flanker Harrison Vollmost. The win sees Gosford cement their spot in fourth position on the competition ladder.

Avoca Beach hosted The Lakes at Heazlett Park and the home side were able to run out winners by 57 points to 19. It was all Avoca Beach in the early stages of the clash and they took the early lead. In fact they led by 17 points to nil before The Lakes were able to respond with their first points in the match. It was at that stage that The Lakes responded with two tries in the second half of the first stanza, but it was Avoca Beach who went to the halftime break leading by 24 points to 12. The second half saw Avoca Beach further assert their superiority in the match and they were able to post a further 33 points in the second half. The Lakes did cross for a lone converted try in the second half but were unable to make any inroads on the home team. Best players for Avoca Beach were prop Matt Ritchie, winger Mitchell Briggs, lock Lachlan Sooialo and flanker Matt Anderson. The Lakes were best served by prop Luke Clarkson, hooker Brandon Church and centre Ashton Hutchinson-Walters. The respective five-eights, Sione Vaenuku (The Lakes) and Sam Evans (Avoca Beach), both crossed for 3 tries apiece. Avoca Beach maintains their unbeaten record after 10 rounds of Central Coast rugby.

Woy Woy travelled to Ourimbah Rugby Park to meet the Razorbacks but it was the Razorbacks who recorded a 120 points to 0 victory. The Razorbacks controlled everything from start to finish and were to post points regularly and quickly throughout the match. They led by 52 points to nil at the halfway mark, and then were able to continue on and record a further 68 points in the second half. It was certainly not Woy Woy’s day. They had no answer to the Razorback onslaught. Best players for the Razorbacks were No.8 Lachlan Peruch, hooker Jade Strongman and centre Owen Turner. Flanker Rob Peden crossed for 5 tries for the home side. Best for Woy Woy were centre Jarrod Olive, winger Max Stride and centre Ulysses Fotofili. Warnervale met Lake Macquarie at Woongarrah Sports Field in a match which saw Warnervale record a 50 points to 15 victory. Warnervale got away to a great start in this match and were able to pile on the points in the first half. They scored early and continued to post 38 points in the first half. They led by 38 points to nil at halftime. Lake Macquarie had no answer to the Warnervale attack in that first period. The second half was a far more even affair, and in fact, Lake Macquarie outscored Warnervale by 15 points to 12 in the second half. Lake Macquarie never gave up and maintained the effort right up until fulltime. Best players for Warnervale were five- eight Isaiah Niumata, centre Sevanaia Nabetelevu and prop Taniala Tangulu. Lake Macquarie were best served by halfback Matias Furno, five-eight Brendan Holiday and No.8 Vilikesa Ralagakali.

The Women’s 10’s competition matches continued yesterday. There have been some surprise results in recent weeks and this had resulted in the competition becoming all that more interesting leading into the second half of the year. Yesterday saw The Lakes, Terrigal and the Razorbacks all record important victories.

REPORT :
The 2023 Central Coast Rugby Union season saw several exciting matches yesterday in Round 9 action in local rugby. The season has reached the halfway point of the season and the Top 5 in Premier 1 is quite clear. However, there is still half the season to go.

The Match of the Day at Heazlett Park saw Avoca Beach defeat Terrigal in a see- sawing clash by 30 points to 22. In a match where the lead changed numerous time it was Avoca Beach who outlasted the visitors. The match started off very evenly and with the score at 5 points to 3 in Terrigal’s’ favour it was obvious it was going to be hard fought and tight for the entire 80 minutes, Avoca Beach then took the lead and led by 10 points to 5 before Terrigal responded with a penalty goal. Avoca Beach did score their second try just before the break to lead by 17 points to 8 at halftime. In the circumstances this lead was quite a handy one and would have given the home side much confidence going into the second half. However, it was Terrigal who had the better of the start of the second half and it was not long before they had taken the lead by 22 points to 20. So, at the midway point of the second half it was anybody’s match. However, it was Avoca Beach who finished the stronger with a vital converted try close to fulltime. Best players for Avoca Beach were lock Emile Thomas, No.8 Matt Anderson, five-eight Sam Evans and halfback Mitch Magrath, while Terrigal were best served by fullback Frankie Webber, prop Antonio Cunha, hooker Bailey Platt and lock Macklan Collins. So, it is Avoca Beach who get the win and remain undefeated in the competition but it is Terrigal who are still at the top of the competition ladder by the single point.

Warnervale travelled to Ourimbah Rugby Park to meet the Razorbacks but it was the Razorbacks who got the victory by 35 points to 27. This was another hard fought and closely contested contest. The Razorbacks definitely got the better start and were able to cross for 3 tries before Warnervale were able to trouble the scoreboard. This 19 points to nil lead was just the start they wanted. However, Warnervale fought back. They scored a try and kicked a penalty goal before the break but it the Razorbacks who went to the halftime break leading by 22 points to 8. The second half was a far more even affair. In fact, Warnervale outscored the home team by 19 points to 13 but it was all too late in terms of the scoreboard. Both teams played some excellent rugby but that first half was all the difference in the match. Best players for the Razorbacks were flanker Rob Peden, five-eight Tayne Mann and fullback Ryan Fenning while for the visitors the best performers were centre Sevanaia Nabetelevu, No.8 Tevita Piukala and lock Ben Austine.

Hornsby hosted Woy Woy at Mark Taylor Oval and it was the home team who won on the day by 76 points to 7. The first half was quite an even affair. Hornsby did score first to lead 5 nil but it was Woy Woy who responded quickly and took the lead by 7 points to 5. The remainder of the first half was quite even but it was Hornsby who led at the halftime break by 15 points to 7. However, the second half was all Hornsby. They were able to pile on 61 further points to simply outclass Woy Woy in the second half. Woy Woy had no answer to this attach. It was an excellent performance by Hornsby who are gradually getting back to some really good form. Best players for Hornsby were centre Nick Andersen, who crossed for 5 tries, fullback Jack O’Connor, and five-eight Hunter Bird, who compiled 21 individual points. Woy Woy were best served by flankers Casey Woodford and Atone Reuel, and halfback Tirado Pakal.

Gosford continued their pleasing season with a victory over Lake Macquarie at Gosford Showground by 75 points to 7. It was a very consistent performance by Gosford who were able to score points regularly throughout the match. Gosford led by 33 points to 7 at halftime and then continued on with the points scoring with another 28 points in the second half. The win sees Gosford move into 4 th position on the competition ladder. Best players for Gosford were halfback Ben Shelley, hooker Joel Wagner and No.8 Phil Brown while best efforts for Lake Macquarie were put in by prop Connor Radcliffe, halfback Matias Furuno and five-eight Franco Quinones. There were some exciting games in Women’s 10’s matches this weekend. There were three matches on display. Razorbacks, Terrigal and Hornsby all recorded vital, and quite large, wins in what is developing into an interesting race to the Finals later in the year. Terrigal scored a most convincing win over arch rivals Avoca Beach, but Woy Woy, despite their loss, continue to build excellent numbers.

REPORT :
The 2023 Central Coast Rugby Union season saw several exciting matches yesterday in Round 8 action in local rugby. Two matches were very close, while the other two contests saw teams get away to a comfortable victory.

The Match of the Day at Ourimbah Rugby Park saw Avoca Beach and the Razorbacks play out a 20 all draw in a match that saw nothing between the two teams for the full 80 minutes. The first half was an even tussle and the two teams basically went point for point for most of the contest. Avoca Beach led by 14 points to 10 at the halftime break and that was basically the biggest lead that either team had in the match. It was not long before the match was squared up at 17 all midway through the second half and only a penalty goal to each team later in the half saw the final score locked at 20 points apiece. Both teams will take a lot from the result even though being disappointed about not getting the win. Best players for The Razorbacks were flankers Matt Martin and James Blanch, prop Jordan Clark, and hooker Jade Strongman, while best performers for Avoca Beach were prop Matt Ritchie, lock Joel Delaney, centre Alex Halls and flanker Fionn Henderson-Foley.

Warnervale met Gosford at Gosford Rugby Field and this match also proved to be a cliff-hanger. Gosford held on to win by 24 points 19. Gosford got away to the better start with an opening converted try but Warnervale soon hit back to square the mach at 7 points apiece. There was plenty of action in the match with play going from one end of the field to the other and with great physicality. Gosford were able to go ahead on the scoreboard with a further try and two long range penalty goals to Ben Shelley. Gosford went to the halftime break with a handy lead of 18 points to 7. The first 20 minutes of the second half was a real arm wrestle. Both teams had chances to post points but none were secured. It was at the midway point of this half that Warnervale got right back in the match with a converted try to make the score 18-14. Gosford however maintained the difference on the scoreboard with a further two penalty goals to lead 24-14. A late try to Warnervale reduced the gap on the scoreboard but it was all too late in terms of getting the win. Best players for Gosford were halfback Ben Shelley, hooker Joel Wagner, centre Michael Jones and lock Taylor Mildren. Warnervale were best served by flanker Dean Crofskey, lock Ben Austine and centre Alfred Brown. Like the match above, the two teams maintain their existing position on the competition ladder.

Hornsby hosted Terrigal at Mark Taylor Oval and it was Terrigal who secured a 48 points to 3 victory. Hornsby kicked the opening penalty goal to lead 3 nil but that was the only time in the match that they were to do so. It was from this point that Terrigal gradually asserted their control on the match. The first half was still quite a close affair with both teams giving it their all. Terrigal went to the halftime break leading by 15 points to 3 so both teams were still definitely in the match at that stage. However, the second half saw Terrigal post a further 33 points to secure the win. It was a most convincing win for the Terrigal side and the result sees them remain undefeated at this stage of the season. Best players for Terrigal were prop Antonio Cunha, lock Isaac Riviere and flanker Josh Moorhouse. Hornsby’s best players were lock Dominic Cole, hooker Jackson Cole and No.8 Hamish Perring. Hornsby would be most disappointed with the result especially after last week’s great result.

The Lakes got their second win of the season with a 68 points to 12 victory over Lake Macquarie at Slade Park. The Lakes got away to a quick start and it was not long before they had jumped to a 14 points to nil lead. Lake Macquarie did hit back and they crossed for their first try midway through the first half. However, it was The Lakes who maintained the control and they went to the halftime break leading by 28 points to 12. They were basically in control of the match at that stage and so it proved to be in the second half when they went on to post a further 40 points in the second stanza. Best players for The Lakes were five-eight Sione Vaenuku, flanker Paul Wilson, hooker Connor Starkey and No.8 Geoff Hiku, while for Lake Macquarie their best were centre Sekove Tamanivalu, prop Matt Bartley and five-eight Franco Quinones.

There were some exciting games in Women’s 10’s matches this weekend. There were three matches on display. Avoca Beach, Terrigal and The Lakes all recorded vital wins in what is developing into an interesting race to the Finals later in the year.

**********Please note, there is a general bye next Saturday. So there is no local rugby over the Long Weekend. The competition will resume on Saturday, 17th June.
Next weekend, all the action will be in Tamworth for the NSW Country Rugby Championships.

REPORT :
The 2023 Central Coast Rugby Union season continued with Round 7 action across the Central Coast. The season continues to build with several teams now jostling for those Final Five placings at the end of the year. All matches were played in cool but fine weather conditions.

The Match of the Day at Woongarrah Oval saw Avoca Beach and Warnervale play out a thrilling match but it was Avoca Beach who came out victors by 31 points to 19. Warnervale got away to the better start and opened the scoring early on with a converted try. It was developing into a battle royal with both teams giving their all. Avoca Beach was able to reduce the gap by kicking two penalty goals, and then took the lead by 11 points to 7 after they scored their first try. It was proving an exciting and tight game of rugby. Warnervale took the lead once again just prior to halftime when they crossed for their second converted try to go to the break leading by 14 points to 11. Avoca Beach squared the match early in the second half when they made the score 14 all after kicking a penalty goal. A fourth penalty to the visitors saw them take the lead and they led by 17 points to 14. The contest remained close for much of the remainder of the match however it was Avoca Beach who finished a little stronger. They were able to score 2 tries to Warnervale’s one to grab the victory. Both teams will take so much from the match but it is Avoca Beach who remain undefeated this season. Best players for Avoca Beach were No.8 Matt Anderson, Tom Murphy and flanker Fionn Henderson-Foley, who posted 21 individual points. Best for Warnervale were hooker Kye Haslam, prop Veipueki Siale, who crossed for 2 tries, and fullback Alfred Brown.

Terrigal met Gosford at The Haven Oval but it was Terrigal who secured the victory by 41 points to 7. Terrigal got away to the better start with an early penalty goal and an early try. This 8 nil lead set the pattern for much of the match. Terrigal were relentless and continued to control proceedings both on the paddock and on the scoreboard. Terrigal maintained the rage and went to the halftime break leading by 34 points to nil. Things at that stage looked ominous for Gosford and so it proved to be. The second half was a far more even battle but the first half performance by Terrigal secured the win on the day. In fact, the second half was locked at 7 points apiece but it was all too late for Gosford. Terrigal maintain their unbeaten record this season while Gosford will need to regroup so they can return to the winner’s circle. Best players for Terrigal were centre Jayden Woolley, who crossed for 2 tries, five-eight Adam Danckert, who posted 16 personal points, and Edward Bookallil. Gosford were best served by lock Taylor Mildren, five-eight Josh McGlynn and hooker Joel Wagner.

The match at Woy Woy Oval saw The Lakes get their first win of the season with a tight victory over Woy Woy by 39 points to 27. This match went neck and neck for much of the 80 minutes. It proved to be a great game of rugby. Woy Woy took the early lead with a try but it was not long before The Lakes grabbed the lead. The match was like that throughout, with the lead changing on numerous occasions. The Lakes went to the halftime break leading by 19 points to 10 but the match was still very much up for grabs. The Lakes scored 6 tries to Woy Woy’s 5 so this fact alone showed the closeness of the contest. It was anybody’s match for much of the time. At the midway stage of the second half, The Lakes led by the narrow margin of 26 points to 22 but they were able to finish the stronger to go on to record a pleasing victory. A feature of the match were the three tries scored by centre Sione Vaenuku. Other good players for The Lakes were lock Paul Wilson, prop Connor Starkey, and winger Josua Camaasalia. Best for the home team were lock Fe’iloakitohi Patrick Tautua’a, who crossed for 2 tries, and flankers Bruce Folau and Casey Woodford.

Hornsby travelled to Boolaroo to meet Lake Macquarie and the match proved to be a one sided contest, with Hornsby running out winners by 87 points to nil. It was one way traffic for most of the match but both teams tried their very best and put on a display of very open, running rugby. Lake Macquarie gave it their all but had no answer to the continuous Hornsby attack. It was one of Hornsby’s best performances this year and will be a huge boost to their season going forward. They crossed for 13 tries, with Nick Anderson posting a personal tally of 4 tries. Hornsby led by 45 points to nil at the halftime break so the match was cemented even at that stage. Hornsby went on and posted a further 42 points in the second stanza. Best players for Hornsby were centre Nick Anderson, hooker Jackson Cole and No.8 Hamish Perring. Lake Macquarie were best served by centre Wayne Gorman and flanker Jarod Scott.

There were some exciting games in Women’s 10’s matches this weekend. There were three matches on display. Avoca Beach, Hornsby and The Lakes all recorded vital wins in what is developing into an interesting race to the Finals later in the year. The match at Boolaroo between the Razorbacks and Hornsby was a beauty with some great rugby on display but it was Hornsby who secured the vital win.

REPORT :
The 2023 Central Coast Rugby Union season continued with Round 6 action across the Central Coast. The season is now a third of the way through the season and things are beginning to take little shape in terms of the competition ladder. However, there is still a long way to go.

The Match of the Day at Heazlett Park saw Avoca Beach and Gosford play out a quite one-sided contest in which Avoca Beach defeated Gosford by 43 points to 10. It was certainly the home team’s day after they started well and continued to play goof effective rugby for the entire 80 minutes. Avoca Beach got away to a good start and it was not long before they had jumped to a handy lead. This was despite Gosford scoring the first try in the match. By halftime Avoca Beach led by 26 points to 5 and even at that stage the writing was on the wall in terms of the result. Avoca Beach were able to post a further 17 points in the second half while Gosford were only able to respond with the single try. Best players for Avoca Beach were centre Michael Houssenloge, who crossed for 2 tries, prop Matt Ritchie, halfback Mitchell Magrath and centre Alex Halls. Gosford had several good performers but none were better than halfback Ben Shelley, lock Mitch Parker and five-eight Josh McGlynn. Avoca Beach remain undefeated and continue their great start to the season, while Gosford would be most disappointed with the result.

The Razorbacks opened up the scoring early on to go to a 7 points to nil lead. However, it was not long before Hornsby responded and they squared the match at 7 points apiece. It was then that a serious injury to a Hornsby player delayed the match for quite a while. When play continued, the Razorbacks were able to jump to a handy 26 points to 7 lead by the halftime break. Because of the injury the second half was very much shortened as well. The Razorbacks went on to get the win and were able to secure that vital 4 try bonus point. Best players for the Razorbacks were winger Jye Clack, prop Jordan Clark and No.8 Lachlan Peruch, while for Hornsby their best efforts were put in by flanker Harry Volemost, winger Jack O’Connor, who scored both of Hornsby’s tries, and lock Aaron Duncan.
