QANTAS U23s hold advantage against Yemen he QANTAS U23s have defeated Yemen 3-0 in the first leg of their London 2012 Olympic Games Asian Qualification matches held on Sunday June 19 at Bluetongue Stadium in Gosford.

A double from Jason Hoffman and a goal from Mitch Nichols has given the Olyroos a comfortable lead going into the second leg of the tie, played at Ausgrid Stadium in Newcastle. The Olyroos took only 15 minutes to open the scoring. From a Marko Jesic short corner on the left, Matthew Jurman’s header was blocked by a Yemeni defender. Ryall was on hand to pick up the rebound to cross the ball to Hoffman for an easy header from the goal-line into the empty net. Playing in front of a home crowd of 2,597, Olyroos captain Oliver Bozanic almost doubled his team’s lead in the 29th minute. His well taken free kick was only denied by the crossbar. Vidmar made a tactical switch at half-time to bring
on Aaron Mooy for Isaka Cernak with the Olyroos starting to create more opportunities on the right flank. Mooy had a great chance to increase the Olyroos lead in the 57th minute but his shot hit the woodwork and bounced back into the arms of the Yemeni goalkeeper. The Olyroos finally extended their lead ten minutes later when Hoffman squared the ball to Nichols, who tapped the ball pass the Yemeni goalkeeper. Yemen’s captain Munasser Akiad Ba Haj was shown a yellow card late in the match for a late and dangerous tackle on Aziz Behich. After receiving treatment, Behich returned to the field during additional time and went on a 60 metre run with the ball on the left flank before providing a through ball to Hoffman. Hoffman’s shot hit the post but he was on hand to collect the rebound to complete the scoring for the Olyroos. At full time, Olyroos Head Coach Aurelio Vidmar was very pleased with his team’s first competitive match together.

“I am very happy with a 3-0 result, it could have been more. “We miss some really easy chances and their goalkeeper made some outstanding saves as well and now we’ll hopefully go to Newcastle and finish it off,” said Vidmar. The Olyroos will face Yemen again at Ausgrid Stadium in Newcastle on Thursday 23rd June They need to win these two matches on aggregate to progress to the next round of qualification, which sees the 12 winners from Round 2 divided into three groups of four teams each. The teams in each group will then play in a home-and-away format from 21 September 2011, to 14 March, 2012, with the winner of each group directly qualifying for the London 2012 Olympic Games Football competition. The three second-placed teams from the third round will clash in a playoff at a centralised venue from March 25 to 29, 2012, and the winners of this group will meet the representatives of CAF (Africa) for a berth in the London 2012 Olympic Games. photos: Val Bridge

15 July. Both Aston and Mashman were members of the 2011 NSW Indigenous Schoolgirls team and impressed selectors to gain their positions to represent School Sport Australia in the upcoming international challenge against teams from New Zealand and other countries.It’s the first year the two Wyong Netball Association representatives have been on scholarship within the Central Coast Academy of Sport and they are both benefitting from
the additional support and development on offer. “The academy is great because it brings together girls from the three different associations on the coast and we all get to train and play under some great coaches,” said Aston. “Being in the academy program has helped me fine tune a lot of key areas in my game, which obviously goes a long way towards assisting gaining selection in teams such as the Australian Indigenous Schoolgirls side,” Aston added.

However, for last year’s champion Liam Yokoyama, at his fourth nationals with 3 previous national gold medals in the senior boys and cadet divisions, it was a time to re-confirm his dominance in the 66kg Cadet weight division. Fifteen year old
Morisset High student Liam Yokoyama, by his spectacular performance winning the coveted gold in the Cadet U18 and 5th in the Junior Men U20 age groups, spearheaded the results. His polished Tsurikomi goshi (shoulder throw) was his main stay in all his bouts, coupled with his smooth transition to groundwork and submission techniques, which he called on at will. The results were a huge relief and reward after a grinding preparation in physical training here and overseas. He had to cope with a knee injury which challenged
his resolve and required to modify his skills, and now can be attended to. The win secured him the selection at the Cadet World Championships, in Kiev, Ukraine, in August this year. There was a bronze medal for U15 Junior Boy Neeson NAIDOO from Watanobbi, for whom this was his 1ST time at a junior nationals event. Five months ago, he had a simple aim - to make the State team. Neeson was however determined to prepare thoroughly, training every day, improving week by week and make the best

possible showing. It all paid off and came together when he displayed his skills on the mat in Perth and, after some wins, saw a chance to make the medal rounds which he did by only losing narrowly in hard fought bout in the semi-final round, settling for a bronze. There was another bronze for U15 Junior Girl Angelina Yokoyama from Bonnels Bay, who found that her training wasn’t up to the required level to improve on last year’s bronze medal win. Although she won several bouts, she was countered in the crucial deciding semi-
final bout with a ‘take back throw. Angelina stepped up her effort in the repechage to win the Bronze. Jay Sharpe (Berkley Vale), a previous National medallist, hadn’t hit his strides as yet after just back at training a few months. Jay was scoring well, but also accumulating a series of penalties, which made the going tough and eventually cost him a place.

preparation and chance to medal, which se won in the last two years. She performed with exceptionally strong determination and against all odds won several bouts but was unable to reach the medal round and produce the results she is capable of. Kido coaching director, Pete Acciari, emphasized that “the clubs main aim is to attain the maximum potential from each of its students and in the process achieve individual excellence”, and Kido has been fortunate to have a group of dedicated hard working members that simplify that goal.

Mingara re-affirms support M
by Luke Tucker
i n g a r a Recreation Club has renewed its support of the Central Coast Academy of Sport with the existing major business partnership to now continue through to at least the end of August 2013.
As an inaugural major business partner, Mingara has been the official home of the Central Coast Academy of Sport since it was launched in 2004. The partnership has developed over time and with both organisations experiencing considerable growth since 2004, Mingara now offers Central Coast Academy of Sport athletes access to state of the art sports training facilities including the Mingara One fitness and aquatic centres and the Gatorade Regional Athletics Centre right here in their own backyard. Central Coast Academy
of Sport Managing Director Ian Robilliard praised the vision of Mingara and the ongoing support of CEO Paul Barnett and his team, who are all actively involved and commit a genuine interest in the operations and achievements of the academy. “Put simply, we would not be in the extremely positive position we are in today if it wasn’t for the support of Mingara,” said Robilliard. “Mingara backed us right from the start and their support has only grown since then. “Not many regional academies of sport enjoy the direct access to world class facilities that Mingara offers to our scholarship athletes,” Robilliard added. Mingara CEO Paul Barnett was delighted to renew the club’s support of the Central Coast Academy of Sport and said the partnership would continue to develop along with their many other strong community links particularly within sport,
but did also draw attention to the current threat of the federal government and their proposed introductions in regard to gambling in Australian clubs. “We are a community club, so our support of local community organisations, such as the Central Coast Academy of Sport, are extremely important to us,” said Barnett. In a recent presentation to Mingara’s community committee and senior management, the Central Coast Academy of Sport confirmed that with over 300 athletes now coming through sport programs each year, a total of over 1600 scholarship athletes have benefited from local sporting opportunities and development since Mingara teamed up with the academy back in 2004. That’s over 1600 local families who haven’t had to travel up or down the F3 freeway to access high quality coaching and development support.

Gosford makes strong win
NSW Football Super League By Ray Sandell and Peter Rowney
Fraser Park v Central Coast rescheduled Round 14 Played at Sydenham, Wednesday 22 June 2011 raser Park and Central Coast shared the points in a1-1 draw on Wednesday in their rearranged fixture postponed from the previous weekend.
F
Missing the unavailable Tony Faria, Fraser Park started with Troy Eedy for the first time, since he signed from nearby Dulwich Hill and the striker duly got on the scoresheet early in the second after heading in a pinpoint cross from the right, beating the exposed
Jonathan Faerber. There had been little of note in a tight first half, but Nathan Byrn for Central Coast did have the best chance of the opening period, as early as the sixth minute in fact. He received a perfect ball in space from Michael Simmonds, but underhit his shot into the arms of Ivan Kovacevic. A direct freekick from Byrn also tested Kovacevic but it was not until Eedy’s goal that the game began to open up. Despite taking the lead, and being hungry for the points, Fraser Park lapsed
only slightly but enough for the Coast to draw level just a few minutes after conceding. A fine strike from Keenan Crum, first time from well outside the box, was going in from the moment it left his boot, curling into the top left. It was an excellent and well taken goal, lifting the Coast who began to dominate as the half went on. Jamie Lobb, on surging runs down the left, had looked dangerous all night with his accurate crosses causing concern for Fraser. It was an intense final ten minutes for Fraser Park,

defending desperately at times, as the Coast pressured. It seemed liked the Coast may get a winner too, and they certainly worked towards that, knowing that three points would lift them to outright sixth. But Fraser Park were able to hold out and the point gained by the home side moves them a little further away from Hills Brumbies. Fraser Park 1 (Troy Eedy 56’) drew with Central Coast 1 (Keenan Crum 59’)

Dulwich Hill v Central Coast FC Round 15 Played at Arlington Oval, Dulwich Hill, 26 June 2011
t has been a great week for Paul Carter and his Dulwich Hill charges who claimed their second win in six days after defeating Central Coast 1-0 at a sundrenched Arlington Oval.
I
It has also been a great week for Steve Donevski, who scored the only goal of the game to get Dully the points, as he did midweek against St George. There can be no doubting the importance of the wins, as they have lifted Dulwich Hill to fourteen points, and a gap is beginning to appear above last placed Hills Brumbies. But it was never guaranteed that the win would go the way of Dulwich Hill, as Central Coast did dominate the possession and territory for large parts of the game. However, they had difficulty in overcoming an, at times, packed defence, the number of players in the penalty area proving a hindrance to any clear shot on target.
Most opportunities were really half chances, with Darren Cooper shooting over the top and Graham Toope having a shot deflected for a corner. Matt Kasbarian did very well in tipping the shot from the ensuing corner over the bar as the Coast pressed. But it wasn’t all one way. Darren Stapleton put in an inswinging freekick which evaded everybody and Thomas Sowden could have done better with a snapshot. It was in the second half that the Coast started to get some clear cut chances. A goal seemed certain when Jamie Lobb shot from in front and a deflection appeared to have curled over Kasbarian, but the keeper, already on the ground, did a superb job in tapping around for a corner. Matt Toogood pushed up into midfield as Dulwich Hill looked to get the scoresheet and they couldn’t have hoped for an easier opportunity. A mixup in the backline between Jonathan Faerber and his defence, on the edge of the eighteen yard box,
allowed Steve Donevski to nip in and escape with the ball. It was an easy run to an open goal, and Donevski made no mistake. It was a disaster for Central Coast who knew that a win today would put them well in the hunt for a finals spot. They tried to get back into the game, Lobb getting on the end of a high cross but not quite able to get over the top of the ball. Louis Bozanic shot high but it was Lobb again who had the best chance of them all. With just five minutes left, he found himself clear inside the area and it seemed just a matter of putting away past Kasbarian, on his favoured left foot. But the shot didn’t connect cleanly and the chance was lost. In the dying moments, new Japanese recruit Sinamoto, who impressed when he came on at half time, smashed a shot against the post for Dulwich Hill and this was as close to 2-0 as it could get.

In the end, the single goal was enough. “Sometimes you have to win ugly”, stated Paul Carter, “and today we did that”. “But finally it is starting to happen for us, and we can start to look up the table a bit instead of down”. Peter Preston was nothing if not succinct. “That goal was a nightmare. It cost us the game”, he said. Our attitude wasn’t right today, players turning up late etc, and it just wasn’t good enough”.
Holly Buchanan opened the scoring early in the first half with a calculated finish leaving the Wyoming defence wrong footed and the keeper no chance. From here on, the flood gates opened and, despite the odd flair of attacking prowess from Wyoming, it was a one sided game. Scorers for Gosford were Holly Buchanon, Ange Beattie [2] Lisa Sullivan, Nat Dawson [2] and captain Neisha Klessattel [1 pen], with the final score being 7-0 in Gosford’s favour. Gosford coach Mark

Yule said, “I am happy with the teams form on the park especially after 3 weeks without training or games and whilst the team is playing well, our biggest danger will be over confidence and complacency.” He went on to say “our last game will be against Avoca, a game which we need to win and this coming Sunday, we take on second placed Doyalson which will be a defining game for our season.” After The Entrance’s forfeit to Gosford two weeks ago, they took to the field taking on Tuggerah at home and losing out two nil whilst Doyalson gave Avoca a lesson in football winning 5-1. This Sunday’s fixtures sees first placed Gosford take on second placed Doyalson, at Doyalson. There is just two points separating the two teams with Gosford having a game in hand. Tuggerah have a home game taking on Avoca and The Entrance is away to Wyoming.
The match scheduled between Central Coast Football Club and Sydney University for Tuesday, June 28, was washed out. They played the Under-20s game but the pitch became a lake and both teams agreed that it was impossible to play. The Under-20s was won by competition leaders Sydney Uni 2-1 in shocking conditions, but Central Coast still maintain second position on the table.

ast Gosford has defeated Umina 3-2 at Umina Oval to take the lead after Round 12 of the 2011 CountryNet Mens Premier League competition.
E
Not only was it Umina’s first loss of the season, but the Peninsula team’s first since Round 9 of the 2010 competition, an amazing run of 19 matches without defeat in just over 12 months. An own goal by Umina early the second half proved crucial after the teams had exchanged first half goals through Blake Jesson (East Gosford) and Josh Schuman (Umina). Defender Matt Ditton’s second goal of the season gave the Rams a two-goal cushion with a late strike by Umina’s Todd Beckman coming too late to save his team. The win takes East Gosford to the top of the
table for the first time this season and extends their unbeaten runs to five matches, including four wins. The biggest upset of the round came at Mingara Sports Field where Kincumber downed Berkeley Vale 3-1. Former Central Coast Lightning and Sydney Olympic player, Xavier Forsberg, who is on a brief break from his US college team, scored for Kincumber with Shaun Coombes and Ryan Moore also netting. Cory Atkinson scored a late consolation goals for Berkeley Vale. It was Kincumber’s second win in five days, following on from their impressive 4-2 win over The Entrance midweek and Berkeley Vale’s third loss in their past four matches. Kanwal continued their resurgence, downing Wyong 3-0 at Baker Park to record their third win in

p o r t i n g organisation treasurers can often feel isolated with a limited number of contacts, if any, who can help them with a variety of financial m a n a g e m e n t problems, especially including those associated with the end of the financial year.
S
While they don’t always possess the necessary financial skills or background, they are motivated to accept the role of treasurer because they are dedicated to their particular club or sport and feel an obligation to contribute. This problem can be compounded by the potential transient nature of office bearers’ positions, which may result in the election of a new treasurer each year. Community Compass Inc. (CC), based at the Woodbury Park Community Centre, is a non-profit organisation, assisting other non-profits to understand and manage their financial matters with excellence, by providing affordable and accessible financial training and services.
CC is only a telephone call or e-mail away on 4353 9806 or info@ communitycompass.org. au to answer any financial management questions from non-profit sporting organisations. The next Treasurers’ Forum will be held at the Woodbury Park Community Centre on Friday, August 19. CC offers the opportunity for one-on-one consulting for non-profit sporting organisations, also at no cost. A new program is being
developed to resource voluntary treasurers for nonprofits. We would like to hear from people, who are considering becoming a treasurer of a non-profit organization.

T
In damp conditions, Terrigal got away to a good start and, although the scores were close throughout the match, they were never to be headed on the scoreboard. Terrigal had a very good first half. They scored two tries in that period and played some pleasing rugby, despite the soft conditions under foot. They went to the halftime break leading by 20 points to 5, and had control of the game at that stage. It was a little piece of the Woods show, because the two centres, Tim and Damien Woods, scored all Terrigal’s points. Tim scored scored two tries, while Damien posted 15 points for his team in the game. Kariong did strike back early in the second half, and

Kariong-19 Tries: Hama Matapaliga, Sione Malu, Travis Simpson Goals:Scott Hanley (2 conversions) Warnervale continued their great form with an easy 53 points to 15 win over The Entrance at Woongarrah Oval. The win positions them just out of the top four in what is proving their best season in the top grade since the club’s inception. The match was a quite even affair in the first half, with Warnervale going to the halftime break, leading by 21 points to 10. But the further the game went, the more dominant Warnervale became both on the field and on the scoreboard. Warnervale scored 8 tries to 3 and that was a real indication of the flow of the game. Best for Warnervale were Michael Shepherd, Richie Houston and Josh Holman, who was able to cross for two tries. The Entrance did score three tries and their best players were Adam Williams and Ben Harrison. Warnervale-53 Tries:Josh Holman 2, Josh Rennie 2, Chris

This game was up for all grabs for the much of the match, and it was only in the final 10 minutes that Gosford cemented the win. The scores were locked at 3 all for most of the first half, until Gosford scored a try in the corner just on half time. This made the score at the break 8 points to 3 in favour of Gosford. Both teams then had periods of dominance in the first 20 minutes of the second half and both teams were in an intense struggle. During this period, Northlakes scored a try while Gosford kicked a penalty goal to make the score 1110 in favour of Gosford. This remained the score for much of the second half. However, Gosford were able to score two converted tries in the final two minutes. One was the result of a forward surge and the other was a penalty try after Gosford winger Andrew Ryan was brought down without the ball. This was a good game of rugby and Northlakes would be most disappointed with the loss. They played well and had their chances of victory. Best for Northlakes were props Brad Middleton and Matt Lanzini, while backs Scott Godfrey and Marshall Hemopo made breaks on numerous occasions. Gosford were best served by flanker Hugo Pike and five-eight Adam Carlisle, while No.8 Shannon Hardgrave had probably his best game of the season.

Woy Woy got away to a great start with a try to Daniel Campbell, but Avoca Beach were soon to gain the win with some good rugby. They went to the halftime break leading by 22 points to 10. The game was quiet an even battle in the first 40 minutes, however, Avoca Beach showed considerable pace out wide, and their experience showed through, the further the match went. Avoca Beach did score 8 tries in what was a dominant performance. Best for Woy Woy were Gavin Hewitt, Paul Gooley and Mitch Hyde, while Avoca Beach were best served by Brad Sheridan, Adam Winter and Matt Hipwell.

voca Beach d e f e a t e d Terrigal by 28 points to 8 at The Haven Oval.
A
In a game played before a big crowd Avoca Beach asserted their superiority and recorded what culminated in a relatively comfortable win. Terrigal got away to a good start and led by 3 points to nil, as result of a Damien Woods penalty goal, but there is where the lead stopped for the home side. Avoca Beach quite quickly grabbed the lead, and by halftime had gone to a 14 points to 3 lead. Avoca Beach played some assured rugby and their forward pack played with positivity. Hooker Matt Hipwell was Avoca’s best player and he was involved in all the action for the entire match. He was well supported by Emile Thomas in the forwards, but it was the Avoca Beach forward pack that laid the foundations for the win. They controlled most phases in the set piece and distributed good ball to their backline. Outside back James Latham took full advantage of this good ball and crossed for two individual tries for the visitors. Avoca Beach also won the second half and scored another 14 points in that time. Terrigal did score their try in the second half but Avoca Beach had crept too far in front for the home side to threaten with any chance of a win. Terrigal had several good players. Second rower Zac Johnston was strong all day, and he was well supported by flanker Dave Crawford and prop Todd Atkins. The win confirmed Avoca Beach’s spot in second place while Terrigal are now fully involved in a fight for that fourth spot with several other clubs. Avoca Beach-28 Tries:James Latham 2, Matt Maloney, Adam

Kariong were always in charge and after leading by 17 points to 7 at the halftime break, continued on in the same form to claim the victory. Kariong did score 4 tries to 2 and that was probably a good indication of the flow of the game. Best players for Kariong were second rower Blake Sylvester and centre Mitch all Clay. Sione Ofenaghue showed his strength when he crossed for two tries. Ourimbah played well, but were always behind on the scoreboard. Their front row, headed by hooker Matt Ropoama and prop Brett Cunningham, were the best of their players and led from the front all match. Their five-eight Joel Wagner also made his mark on the game. But it was Kariong who
won the day and moved them into clear third spot on the competition ladder. Meanwhile, Ourimbah are desperate for a win and are involved in a struggle for the fourth spot on the ladder as result of the loss. Kariong-29 Tries: Sione Ofenaghue 2, Hamma Mapalinga, Moanna Talakai Goals:Scott Hanley (3 conversions, 1 penalty) Defeated Ourimbah-12 T r i e s : B r e t t Cunningham, Matt Ropoama Goals:Anthony Erickson (1 conversion) Gosford and Warnervale were involved in a ‘do or die’ struggle at Woongarrah Oval. Gosford won the game by 30 points to 17, but Warnervale led the match 17-16 with less than 5 minutes remaining in the game. Gosford went to the halftime break leading by 13 points to 8. They had scored two tries to one and that was a good indication of the first half. The early part of the second half saw what proved to be a penalty shoot out with Warnervale kicking
3 to Gosford’s 1. Gosford’s kicker Tim Hill did miss with several shots at goal, whereas Warnervale’s Jared Lees was able to guide his over. Warnervale led by 17 – 16 when Gosford went on the attack with 5 minutes remaining. Forward John Jackson made a great break before passing to centre Tim Hill who scored a try and then converted his own try. This took Gosford to the lead by 23 points to 17. Then practically straight from the ensuing play following the kickoff, Gosford winger Drew Neist took an intercept to race 50 metres to score his second try. So in the space of a couple minutes, Gosford had turned defeat into a quite comfortable win on the scoreboard. Warnervale were devastated by the loss, but this team came of age in this match and definitely showed they are in the fight for a semi-final spot this year. Best players for Gosford were John Jackson, No.8 Chris Comerford and centre Tim Hill, while Warnervale were best served by hooker Ketoni Toutai and lock Ritchie Houston. This match was ‘even Stevens’ until the last few minutes of the game. Gosford remain at the
top of competition ladder while Warnervale, although beaten, know they can make the Top Four. Gosford-30 Tries: Drew Neist 2, Tim Hill, Josh Reid Goals:Tim Hill, (2 conversions, 2 penalties) Defeated Warnervale-17 Tries:Pat Baker Goals:Jared Lees penalties)

Appreciation for women of league
by Larry Thomson
Round 12 Preview, July 2 ll Central Coast matches this Saturday hold consider able interest for varying reasons.
A
All games will go a long way to deciding who will make up the Top Four for this year. The obvious Match of the Day is the clash at Heazlett Park between Avoca Beach and Gosford. This is because these two teams are currently first and second so the winner of this game will lead this year’s competition. Both teams are well placed at the moment and are looking relatively safe in terms of semi-final places. The game at Ourimbah Rugby Park is so important in terms of the Top Four. In many ways the winner of this game will have a chance to make it while the loser will find it quite difficult to catch up. Northlakes must win their game at home against Kariong if they are to have any chance and if Terrigal can win their match at Woy Woy Oval they will be optimistic of hanging on in the semi-final race. So, all in all, it will be a very interesting round of matches this Saturday. Avoca Beach and Gosford meet at Heazlett Park and this game will go right down to the wire. These two teams only met a few weeks ago in the deferred round and Avoca Beach were winners in what proved a very tight match.
If Gosford have most of their players on deck this time around, they will have a chance of reversing the result from a few weeks back. Gosford played excellent rugby in the opening rounds of the year and their backline was proving lethal. However, in recent weeks, Avoca Beach have been showing the same strengths. The Avoca backline was most effective last Saturday and winger James Latham, on his return to the top grade, scored two tries. The struggle in the forwards will be vital. Whoever gets on top in that area will be the driving force in this game. Gosford will rely on players such veterans prop Steve Lauti and lock John Jackson, while Avoca Beach also their very experienced players headed by Emile Thomas. This will prove a most enthralling game of rugby and one where the winner will go into the latter games of this season with full bragging rights. Ourimbah and Warnervale play at Ourimbah Rugby Park. Ourimbah have not won a game for many weeks and this match is in reality almost their last bite of the cherry. Warnervale have been most impressive in recent weeks and all but won the game last Saturday against Gosford. Warnervale will take a lot out of that game, despite the loss and they know they
must win this Saturday to have any chance of finishing in that Top Four. Ourimbah have been playing quite well but just have not put it all together for the full 80 minutes. Ourimbah had a great start to the season but they must win this Saturday if they are to get themselves back to that form. Northlakes are at home to Kariong at Slade Park. Northlakes are coming off the bye and will be freshened up, and being at home this Saturday, they will be most optimistic of causing an upset against Kariong. Kariong have been most solid in recent weeks and will want to keep that form going. Northlakes have the players to win this game. They proved that in their last clash against Gosford two weeks ago they have the players and structure to be much higher on the competition ladder than they are at present. This game will be much closer than people think, even though Kariong will go into the clash as favourites. Terrigal travel to Woy Woy and their game at Woy Woy Oval should be a good one. Both teams will lift for this game as both teams love to defeat the other. These two teams will give it their all and Terrigal realise that because they lost last week, they will have to get back quickly into the winner’s circle because there are several teams just behind them on the ladder. This should prove an exciting game of rugby. Woy Woy showed last week they are gradually getting it back together and they are always far more effective when at home.

Fishing report inally! We have had a couple of weekends in a row of some nice weather and those big swells tamed down so the boys can get outside with their rods.
F
Bream have been a big mover of late, with some great bream being taken around Woy Woy Bay and Saratoga Flats, where there seems to be plenty of school bream about, filling bag limits. Whiting have been in good numbers with local lads catching good quantities of whiting, with the majority being decent in size and weight. Tube worms, nippers, peeled prawns, blood worms (when available) and strip squid, lightly compressed with a knife handle to tenderise it, have been the pick of baits. Orange Grove stretch,
the Northern end of Paddys Channel and the mouth of Brisbane Water have got plenty of whiting action going on. My local source at The Entrance tells me the whiting influx seen around Brisbane Water has been slow to catch on around their area; however they are increasing in numbers every day, with some nice bream and good blackfish around the bridge and weed beds in The Entrance lakes. For those who love their leather jacket fishing, the rip bridge has been fishing exceptionally well. A useful tip to increase your catch is to use a dropper rig to eliminate snags and to keep your bait just off the bottom. The blackfish brigade seems to be catching blackies consistently. While fishing the Woy Woy water front during the week, I witnessed one gentleman catch 5 nice blackfish in

the corner of the Woy Woy baths. The usual haunts are still producing fish St Huberts island; however, Woy Woy baths and the main stretch in the Empire Bay channel and Green Point are prominent catchments. The beach crew have been out in full force with the nice weather, with good catches of bream, whiting, tailor and salmon; a nice jew fish of 17 kilograms was taken on a strip bait of mullet at Pearl Beach recently. Hairtail have been popping up at Box Head and Patonga, pilchards on ganged 3/0 hooks will do the trick to catch these toothy critters. Stick to the deep holes and deep water for your chance to catch these guys. It’s good to see that fishing is doing well and let’s hope the run of fine weather keeps on coming.

Thirroul tops rubber duckie racing llawarra club Thirroul has managed to hang on to its title after the last round of the NSW IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat) Premiership series was contested at Terrigal on Saturday.
I
Going into the last round, Thirroul was looking strong, however good performances on the day clinched the deal in near perfect weather conditions on the Central Coast.
The team was happy to turn its luck around after engine problems kept them out of medal contention at the State Championships two weeks ago. Hunter club Caves Beach ended second, just one point ahead of Kiama Downs in third place. Host club Terrigal was pleased to finish in fifth spot, just ahead of Sydney Northern Beaches club Queenscliff. Individual crews from various clubs also made their mark in a number of categories.
Time - m
The Forster Controllers crew finished the series in first place in the Open Female Rescue category, a great result for the small lower north coast club. Selectors will take into account these results when they select the State team to contest the Interstate competition on 29 July at Glenelg in South Australia. The team should be announced in a few weeks. Twenty two clubs and more than 300 competitors took part in the Premiership series.
