REPORT :
The 2023 Central Coast Rugby Union season continued with Round 4 action across the Central Coast.

The Match of the Day at The Haven Oval saw an excellent game of rugby where Terrigal defeated Warnervale by 35 points to 14. There was absolutely nothing between the two teams in the first 40 minutes. It was hard fought with no quarter asked for or given. The two teams went to the halftime break locked at 7 points apiece so the match was very much up for grabs at that stage. Warnervale opened the scoring in the match with an early converted try and this 7 nil score line remained the situation for quite awhile. Terrigal were able to reply later in the half to square the match going into the halftime break. The second half was a little different. Terrigal were able to post 4 further tries in the second half to go on to secure the victory. Two of these tries were scored while Warnervale had 2 players in the sin bin and this certainly allowed Terrigal to take control in the match. Warnervale did respond with a late try but it was all too late. Best players for Terrigal were five-eight Adam Danckert, halfback Jye Cornish, hooker Ethan McInnes and centre Jayden Woolley. Warnervale had several good performers, headed by halfback Isaiah Niumata, prop Veipueki Siale and centre Tevita Aholelei. Terrigal continue on their winning way and remain undefeated at this stage of the season. Warnervale will take a lot from the contest and they showed they are in the reckoning for the Finals this year.

Gosford recorded an away victory at Slade Park when they defeated The Lakes by 56 points to 17. The win sees Gosford remain undefeated after 4 rounds of the competition in what is a good start to the year for them. They opened the scoring with a converted try to lead 7 nil. They maintained this control for much of the first half. They were able to continue on and lead by 27 points to 5 at the halftime break. The Lakes had their chances to post points but often the stray pass cost them point scoring opportunities. At the break, things were looking good for the visitors. Gosford maintained control of territory and possession for much of the second half and were able to go on to lead by the handy margin of 37 points to 5 at the midway point of the second half. It was all over for The Lakes by then but they did not stop trying and were rewarded with a couple of late tries through good play. Best players for Gosford were halfback Ben Shelley, who scored 26 points through 2 tries and 7 goals, No.8 Logan Campbell and flanker Mitch Parker. The Lakes were best served by hooker Siosiua Kinahoi, prop Connor Starkey and No.8 Ashton Hutchinson- Walters.

Avoca Beach scored a huge victory over Woy Woy at Woy Woy Oval, running out winners by 101 points to 3. This match was simply one way traffic from start to finish and Woy Woy simply had no answer to the continuous onslaught. It was a disappointing performance by the home team who were missing several players on the day. Avoca Beach went to the halftime break leading by 54 points to 3 and even at that stage the result was a foregone conclusion. Avoca Beach was able to mount a final tally of 15 tries in this match, with Mitchell Briggs and Jake O’Brien posting 4 and 3 tries respectively. Best players for Avoca Beach were five-eight Sam Evans, lock Joel Delaney, fullback Mitch Briggs, and winger Jake O’Brien. For Woy Woy, flanker Casey Woodford, lock Max Edwards and five-eight Corby Delaforce never stopped trying.

The Razorbacks had a pleasing victory when they defeated Lake Macquarie at Boolaroo by 79 points to 0. It was one way traffic for the entire 80 minutes. Lake Macquarie had no answer to the Razorbacks’ attack. The Razorbacks scored early and were able to regularly post points for the remainder of the contest. The Razorbacks went to the halftime break leading by 36 points to 0, and continued on to score a further 43 points in the second half. Best players for the visitors were No.8 Lachlan Peruch, winger Sean Peruch, who scored 4 tries, winger Jye Clack and fullback Ryan Fenning. The best contributors for Lake Macquarie were No.8 Jonathon Coles and halfback Matias Furno.

There were some exciting games in Women’s 10’s matches this weekend, although two of the matches were very one sided. A good win was recorded by The Lakes, who defeated Razorbacks in a close one, while Avoca Beach and Terrigal recorded huge wins over their opposition.

REPORT :
The 2023 Central Coast Rugby Union season continued with some excellent games of rugby. There were two very tight contests, while the other two fixtures saw one sided results.

The Match of the Day at Ourimbah Rugby Park saw Terrigal account for the Razorbacks by 35 points to nil. In a match many thought would be so close from start to finish, Terrigal were able to dominate from the opening whistle. Terrigal got away to a great start with an early try and then were able to post consistent points throughout the remainder of the first half. It was a strong performance and maybe ranks them as Premiership favourites at this early stage of the season. Terrigal had jumped to a match winning lead of 32 points to nil at halftime. Best players for Terrigal were No.8 Salipopo Pamata, lock Macklin Collins and centre Tim Grant. But it was a very good all-round performance by all members of the visitor’s squad. A serious injury early in the second half disrupted proceedings and only a penalty goal was kicked after that. Best performers for the Razorbacks were prop Mackenzie Zammit, five-eight Daniel Jones and lock Steve Finley.

Hornsby scored a very close victory over The Lakes at Mark Taylor Oval, running out winners by the narrow margin of 14 points to 12. The first half was an even struggle with both teams giving their all. Both teams had further opportunities to post points but good defence kept the match to a low scoring one for the much of the contest. The two teams were locked at 7 points apiece at the halftime break so it was anybody’s game at that time. Play continued to be tight but Hornsby were able to hang on for their first win of the season. Both teams crossed for 2 tries each and that fact alone showed the closeness of the match. The Lakes had their chances late in the match but very good Hornsby defence kept them out. Best players for Hornsby were prop Angus McQueen, hooker Jackson Cole and winger Jack O’Connor, while for The Lakes the best efforts were put in by prop Luke Clarkson, five-eight Brayden Hutchinson-Walters and lock Harry Pirini. The Lakes have been so close in all their matches this year but are still looking for that first victory.

Avoca Beach continued their great start to the season when they defeated Lake Macquarie at Heazlett Park by 85 points to 10. It was a very good performance which saw Lake Macquarie having few answers to the onslaught. Avoca Beach crossed for 13 tries while Lake Macquarie were only able to respond with the single 5 pointer. It has been a tough couple of weeks for the Lake Macquarie club and they will be looking forward to a home game in the next few weeks. Best players for Avoca Beach were winger Mitchell Briggs, who crossed for 4 individual tries, centre Michael Houssenloge, flanker Fionn Henderson-Foley and prop Matt Ritchie. Barcelona Lupematasila was the best player for the visitors and he crossed for their lone try.

Gosford recorded a narrow victory over Woy Woy at Gosford Showground, running out victors by 25 points to 24. This was a physical, hard battle from start to finish. There was absolutely nothing in this match. Woy Woy led by 14 points to 8 at halftime, so it was obviously anyone’s fixture at that stage. Woy Woy jumped away to a handy lead at the midway point of the second half. When they led 21 -8, things were looking good for them. However, Gosford were able to keep in the match and after taking the lead 22-21, the match developed into a real and continuing arm wrestle. A penalty goal on the fulltime whistle saw Gosford take the win at the last moment. Best players for Gosford were hooker Joel Wagner, halfback Ben Shelley and flanker Richard Cully. Woy Woy were best served by halfback Siaosi Finau, hooker Soane Lakalaka, and No.8 Sonatane Lilo.

There were some exciting games in Women’s 10’s matches this weekend. Wins were recorded by Terrigal, The Lakes, and Warnervale.

REPORT :
The 2023 Central Coast Rugby Union season continued with some excellent games of rugby. Despite the overcast conditions, the rugby was free flowing and all matches were well attended,

The Match of the Day at Ourimbah Rugby Park saw the Razorbacks win by 27 points to 7 over The Lakes. The first half was a real arm wrestle with both teams giving their all. The Razorbacks opened the scoring with an early try to No.8 Rob Peden. They were able to increase this score line a little with a penalty goal to take a narrow but handy early lead of 8 points to nil. The first half however was tight. The Lakes responded close to halftime with their own converted try to make the halftime score Razorbacks 8 The Lakes 7. This one point lead was indicative of the flow of the first half. There was absolutely nothing in it, and the victory was certainly up for grabs at the halftime break. The Lakes took the lead early in the second half when they kicked an early penalty goal to lead by 10 points to 8. This remained the score for quite awhile. However the further the match went on it was the home team that took control on the scoreboard. They were able to cross for three tries in the last quarter of the match to secure the win. It was a tough and hard fought match. The Razorbacks will take the win but The Lakes will also take a lot from the contest. Best players for the Razorbacks were hooker Jade Strongman, flanker Lachlan Peruch and lock Steve Finley. The Lakes were best served by props Glen Simpson and Ben Kaifa, halfback Bryce Lace, and No.8 Ashton Hutchinson-Walters. The win sees the Razorbacks go to the top of the competition ladder.

Avoca Beach scored a victory over Hornsby at Heazlett Park, running out winners by 37 points to 7. The first half was an even struggle with both teams giving their all. Both teams had further opportunities to post points but good defence kept the match to a low scoring one for the first 40 minutes. Avoca Beach took the early lead through two tries and the lead of 12 points to nil was a promising one. Hornsby did respond later in the first half to make the halftime score 15 points to 7.

Best performers for Hornsby were halfback Ben Astley, and props Angus MacQueen and Russell Yates.

Terrigal had a great start to the season when they defeated Lake Macquarie at The Haven Oval by 101 points to 5. It was one way traffic for the entire 80 minutes.

There was absolutely nothing in this match. Warnervale led by 5 points to nil at halftime, so it was obviously anyone’s match at the break. Warnervale scored a try in each half. It was obvious the defence from both teams was outstanding. Woy Woy did cross for a try right on fulltime but it was all too late for them. It was a vital win for Warnervale but the match did show that both teams will be competitive this season and will cause problems for all oppositions this year.

The Women’s 10’s matches continue to show a great standard. Wins were recorded by the Razorbacks, who defeated The Lakes in a close one, Avoca Beach, and Warnervale, who struggled to overcome an improving Woy Woy team.

REPORT :
The 2023 Central Coast Rugby Union season opened up with some excellent games of rugby. All visiting teams were able to secure victories after several tight struggles.
The Match of the Day at Walters Park saw Warnervale score a pleasing victory over Lake Macquarie by 46 points to 22. It was an enthralling battle between two neighbouring clubs. It was Lake Macquarie’s first match in Central Coast Rugby Union and there was much interest around the contest. Warnervale opened the scoring with a try but Lake Macquarie were quick to respond with a penalty goal to make the score, Warnervale 5 Lake Macquarie 3, early in the match. The first half was quite an even battle with both teams trying to get the advantage over the other.
Lake Macquarie regained the lead in the match and at halftime led by 15 points to 10. It was anybody’s match at that stage. However, it was Warnervale who took control on the paddock and on the scoreboard in the second stanza. In fact, Warnervale were able to post a further 31 points in the second half while Lake Macquarie could only reply with a converted try. It was a good win by Warnervale but the match showed both teams will be most competitive this season.

eight Jye Paterson and No.8 Jacob Tatupo.

Avoca Beach scored a win over The Lakes at Slade Park by 20 points to 7. This was a tough battle from start to finish. There was absolutely nothing between the two teams in the first half and Avoca Beach were only able to get to the halftime break leading by the single penalty goal, by 3 points to nil. Both teams had their chances during this first 40 minutes but neither team was able to cross for that vital try. The Lakes took the lead early in the second half and led by 7 points to 3. However, Avoca Beach were able to finish the stronger and crossed for 3 tries later in the second half to secure the victory. Best players for Avoca Beach were flankers Blake Jacob and Fionn Henderson -Foley. Best performers for The Lakes were prop Rick Halangahu, centre Ashton Hutchinson-Walters and prop Ben Kaifa.

Gosford had a good start to the season when they defeated Hornsby at Mark Taylor Oval by 25 points to 17. It was an even struggle throughout with Gosford crossing for 4 tries while Hornsby responded with 3 tries. This fact alone showed it was a tight struggle throughout. Gosford opened up the scoring with a converted try while Hornsby were able to respond later in the first half with their try. These two tries were the only points scored in the first half.

In fact, this scoreline of 12 nil remained the score at the half time break. Woy Woy were certainly causing the visitors, problems. The match continued to be a battle in the second half but it was The Razorbacks who crossed for a further 2 tries in the second half and were able to go on and outlast the home team by a total of 4 tries to one.
