Warnervale 7 vs Razorbacks 62
Avoca Beach 33 vs Gosford/Kariong 15
Northlakes/The Bay 12 vs Terrigal 33
Woy Woy 18 vs Lake Macquarie 38
The Avoca Beach community will be delighted with their Premier 1 side, as they closed
out a successful day at Heazlett Park with a victory over Gosford/Kariong Rugby Club.
Both teams, seeking redemption after Round 1, delivered an improved performance in
Round 2. Avoca’s five tries to Gosford/Kariong’s two made the difference, securing a
well-deserved win.
Jake Hubbard’s hat-trick at Woongarrah was one of many highlights in Ourimbah’s
dominant win over Warnervale. The outside backs, including Edan Sirone, Kumudika
Gunaratne, and Jake Hubbard, demonstrated exceptional skill, accumulating points
during the latter stages of the first half. The Razorbacks continued their dominance in
the second half, ensuring a resounding 62-7 victory, keeping them at the top of the table
in the 2025 season.
At Slade Park, Northlakes/The Bay applied persistent pressure on Terrigal throughout
the match. Despite a 19-point victory, Terrigal faced a formidable challenge from the
home side’s dynamic play. Nevertheless, Terrigal’s well-organised defence secured the
win.
The highly anticipated clash at Woy Woy Oval between the Lions and Lake Macquarie
Roos did not disappoint. The north vs. south coast rivalry was a spectacle, with both
teams showcasing their skills under perfect conditions. Lake Macquarie edged out Woy
Woy through superior breakdown work and effective offloading, creating opportunities
for their backs to shine. The Roos’ 38-18 victory was hard-fought, but Woy Woy’s
competitive spirit bodes well for the 2025 season. Both clubs are poised for significant
campaigns.
These matches were proudly sponsored by the Wyong Leagues Group, whose support is
invaluable to the Central Coast Rugby Union competition.
