A hot day at Ettalong for us spectators, apparently a bit warm on the field as well ... Even results over the day, with 1sts taking out the big game and winning back the David Steele Cup. Day started with the u16s being very narrow losers and the u17s beating a Woy Woy team that has previously won every premiership they have contested. Deborah Morris will post full Junior results. The u19s started the season with a big win 50-0 over the home side. No hogs, 8 players each scoring a try: Tim Newton, Justin Gilmore, Sam Evans, Lachie Peruch, Isaac Barnes (also kicked 5 conversions), Jordan Davies, Lockie Mackintosh & Tyler Mcmanus. 1pt Jordan Davies & Isaac Barnes 2pts Sam Evans (playing at #7) and 3pts in a great debut for the Club - Lochie Peruch. Players player to the other new player Isaac Barnes. Thirds had a fantastic turnout of players, now we just need them to get to a couple training sessions to get themselves sorted. It was a 7-38 loss with Liam Meadham getting the try, converted by Chris Lewis. 1pt Chris Lewis, 2pts Patrick Wheatley, 3pts and players player to mature age debutante Tod Brien. It probably was the one that got away for 2nds who went down 20-22. Stephen Ford got one try with Mick Arnold scoring 2 as well as a conversion and a penalty. 1pt Nathan Pickup, 2pts Matt Hipwell, 3pts Rhys Stratton. Matt Hipwell was players player.
In the top grade our forwards were immense, defense was fantastic and the scrums totally dominant until they became uncontested. The 10-3 halftime lead turned into a 38-10 victory. Tries to Luke Sheridan, Mitchell Jacob & Jimmy Latham with Nathan Brown not missing a shot with 3 conversions and 3 penalties. 1pt to Harry Watkins, Mitchell Jacob & Matt Norman, 2pts Chad Martin, 3pts Joshua Fash Meadham. Chad Martin was players player.
The special awards went to Joshua Fash Meadham as player of the match and Luke Sheridan as Most Valuable Avoca player.
For Juniors: A fantastic start to the season for our juniors! The majority of our teams played Woy Woy at home in the baking heat, with a few teams playing away.
At the end of the day, in the competition ages we had 7 wins (including a forfeit) and 1 very close loss.
U10s beat WW 42-10, 11s won against WW 26-0, 13s overcame WW 39-34, 14s had a resounding victory over a tenacious WW 99-0, 15s beat Gosford 45-5, 16s lost to WW by one conversion only 21-19 ( a remarkable effort by the boys - Grips and the boys should be applauded for building up the team after playing Baa baas last year), and a win to the mighty u17s against WW 20-17.
Cheers boys.
Next week Seniors at the Sharkpool v Warnervale. Cheers Boys!
