The last time their was a Womens competition on the Central Coast, the sharks won the 15 a side title in 2002, and one of the players was Renee Staben. 16 years later our 7s team got off to a great start when the Woy Woy player took the kickoff and ran straight at Inge Visser and Rachael Elcoate ... not a good career choice and the tone of the game was set by that early dominant tackle. Like the u19s the defensive effort was exceptional, and when we had possession there was always a big threat to their defensive line. It was fitting that Renee Staben was the first try scorer, starting and finishing a short side move to dive over the line. More quality attack on the half time hooter had Jessie Jensen with an untouched run to the line. That was the 10-0 lead. More of the same in the second half, some really good phase play before a Taylor Bateman long run that was finished by Inge Visser racing over under the posts and then kicking the conversion. Not long after Elana Withnall gave up a 10m start over 40m and still stopped a certain try with an amazing tackle and then claiming the ball. At the end Woy Woy did get a converted try to have the final score of 17-7. Make sure you watch the full game on youtube, the standard of play shows a huge improvement from the beginning of the season. Jessie Jensen was named the CCRU player of the match, and also got the players player and the 3pts for a faultless display in the backs. 2pts to Rachael Elcoate and 1pt Summer Witt. Big thanks to the local businesses who donated the awards that were presented back at the Sharkpool. The premiership shield returns to the spot on the Clubhouse wall where it has been since 2002!
