Oval redevelopment plans open for comment A development application for the redevelopment of Woy Woy Oval is currently being advertised and is open for public comment. The proposed redevelopment works include the construction of the new grandstand building, including tiered seating, player change rooms, toilets, stores and referee’s room; a clubhouse, lift, public toilets and kiosk building; new forecourt, concourse and paths, including car parking spaces; new entrance gates, adjoining the grandstand; cafe and external dining area; forecourt landscaping; scoreboard; and the relocation of two existing lighting poles. A further development application will be submitted for further works which include field relocation; new perimeter security fencing; spectator mounded hills; perimeter seating; and landscaping of adjoining areas. The initial project cost is estimated at a minimum of $5.244 million which will deliver the minimum infrastructure requirements of a regional facility. However, according to the Woy Woy Redevelopment Masterplan, research of like facility redevelopments suggests a total project cost of $8-$9 million is required for the facility to meet the standards of a Tier 3 Stadia defined in the NSW State Government 2012 Stadia Strategy. Council has currently committed $1.75 million towards the project however is now seeking contributing funding from State and Federal government and partner
sporting organisations to facilitate the completion of the proposed Redevelopment Master Plan. According to the statement of Environmental Effects prepared by Gosford Council, Woy Woy Oval No. 1 is a valuable asset to the Central Coast sporting fraternity and for the broader Woy Woy community. It is one of Gosford City’s two regional sporting facilities and is used for organised rugby and union fixtures during winter competition months, informal sporting events and recreational activities such as Carols by Candlelight and other community events. The current grandstand was constructed in 1978 with a reinforced concrete superstructure, steel box framed roof and Spancrete clad structure. However in 2012, structural defects were identified in the building and resulted in the immediate removal of the roof to address the apparent safety concerns. A detailed structural assessment subsequently determined that the entire structure had reached the end of its serviceable life. The existing grandstand has 17 rows of bench seating and could accommodate approximately 766 spectators while the proposed new grandstand is designed to seat a minimum of 600 spectators.

Dog owners seek use of Kitchener Park Dog owners have petitioned Gosford Council for the use of Kitchener Park, Ettalong, as an off-leash dog exercise area. In a petition with 321 signatures, they have told the council that Kitchener Oval was ideal and had been used by local dog owners for many years as it was enclosed from traffic. It appeared that it was only used by people taking a short cut from
Hood St to Picnic Pde. The petition stated that the only unleashed area in the vicinity is at the rear end of Ettalong Oval, which is used regularly for various sporting events and is not really suitable for unleashed play. The petitioners stated that the area was not very big and the dogs could only run back and forth in a confined space. Gosford Council Agenda P.28, 23 Sep 2014

Peninsula CCTV rollout starts Agreement has been reached to rollout CCTV at Woy Woy, Umina and Ettalong. Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks said an agreement had been reached with Gosford Council to deliver the first instalments of the $680,000 funding. “Local police have been telling me how CCTV can be a significant deterrent to anti-social behaviour, and is a valuable investigative tool. “Funding will be provided from proceeds of crime, which means that the crimes of yesterday will be used to prevent future crimes in our communities.” Gosford Council general manager Mr Paul Anderson said the next steps would involve close liaison with local police, business owners and residents to make sure the new cameras are set up to provide the best possible community safety outcomes.
Ms Wicks said local businesses are also welcoming the rollout, including Richardson and Wrench Real Estate principal Mr Phil McCord. Mr McCord said: “I know that the cameras that we have in some areas here at Umina Beach have
made a huge difference, and we need more. “It means people will think twice before they engage in crime or anti-social behaviour in our community,” Mr McCord said. Media release, 19 Sep 2014 Tim Sowden, Office of

Protest targets Holstein over electricity plans Stop the Sell Off campaign supporters protested outside the office of Member for Gosford Mr Chris Holstein on Friday, September 12, to highlight community concerns about his support for electricity privatisation. In June, Mr Holstein joined fellow Liberal MPs to vote in favour of the sale of the publicly-owned NSW electricity network poles and wires companies, including Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and TransGrid. Premier Mike Baird has committed to take electricity privatisation to the March 2015 election. Stop the Sell Off spokesman Mr Ben Lister said that the Member for Gosford had failed to stand up and represent the community’s interest. “Chris Holstein had the opportunity to stand up for the community and say no to the privatisation of the poles and wires, but instead he voted in favour of the selloff despite the fact that it will inevitably lead to higher electricity bills,” Mr Lister said. “Our electricity network, made up of Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy
and TransGrid, is the state’s most valuable income-generating asset. “Its profits currently provide billions of dollars every year to help pay for schools, hospitals and transport. “Under Premier Baird’s plan, the people of Gosford will be left paying higher electricity bills as private owners cut back on spending and increase prices to maximise returns for shareholders. “Privatisation has never resulted in lower prices. “This is a short-sighted policy that will deliver a one-off budget sugar-hit while leaving electricity consumers worse off in the long run. “Electricity is an essential service that should be owned by the public and operated by the government to benefit all NSW residents.” Mr Lister said: “We had a great turnout last Friday with more than 50 locals voicing their concerns and protesting outside Chris Holstein’s office against his support for electricity privatisation.” Media statements, 11 & 17 Sep 2014 Ben Lister, Stop the Sell Off Campaign The protest outside Member for Gosford Mr Chris Holstein's office in Woy Woy

Hazard reduction burn planned for Patonga area A major hazard reduction burn is planned for a large section of the National Park near Patonga in preparation for the next fire season. The Rural Fire Service, together with National Parks and Wildlife, Gosford Council and local landowners, have already been involved in hazard reduction at several local areas, including Umina and Woy Woy. Pearl Beach Rural Fire Brigade secretary Mr Greg O’Neill said the hazard reduction burns reduce fuel loads and assist in controlling major fires. Pearl Beach Brigade captain Mr Denis Cathie said that the severity of fires last season, and the potential for a more severe season this year, is a timely reminder of the need for a realistic Bush Fire Survival Plan. He said we should not solely rely on the Rural Fire Service and
hazard reduction burns in nearby areas. Mr O’Neill said the NSW Rural Fire Service considered it essential for people living in bush fire prone areas to have a Bush Fire Survival Plan – “the more prepared you are, the better your chances of survival”. “It is your responsibility to reduce the bush fire risk to your home and family and take actions to survive,” he said. “If you already have a plan, review it and update if necessary. “If you don’t have a plan then you should prepare one,” said Mr O’Neill. Booklets on preparing Bush Fire Survival Plans are available from the Rural Fire Service and are also available at www.rfs.nsw. gov.au. Newsletter, 13 Sep 2014 Roger Murray, The Pearl Beach Gem
Boarding house application withdrawn An application for a 16room boarding house on Shoalhaven Dr, Woy Woy, has been withdrawn by the applicant. The $1.2 million development had a proposed development area of 629.3sqm on a vacant site. A number of submissions had been received by Gosford Council in objection to the proposed development. The council had also received a petition with 314 signatures from local residents asking council to
reject the proposed development. The petitioners said they believed the proposed development was not in the best interest of the local community and that it would negatively impact on the lifestyles, safety and property values of local residents without adding value to the community or character o the street. Mr Robert Lill, a resident of Shoalhaven Dr, said the development would have introduced “a large number of transient tenants quite possibly
with a questionable history or possibly a police record”. Shoalhaven Dr property owner Mr Ronald Murphy said he strongly objected to the proposal. “I am strongly of the opinion that to locate this type of establishment at this location will have many future problems for all concerned and is most definitely not in the best interests of the local residents.” Website, 21 Jul 2014 DA46027/2014, Gosford Council Gosford Council Agenda P.35, 23 Sep 2014
Crossing requested in Victoria Rd A petition with 158 signatures has asked Gosford Council to provide a pedestrian crossing from Edward St across Victoria Rd to the shopping centre. The petitioners said the intersection was used by many
elderly people, students from Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy campus, morning and evening commuters and vision impaired people. They said that the most serious problem with crossing Victoria Rd, since the installation of the roundabout at the intersection of
Victoria Rd and Charlton St, was vehicle speed. They said they believed the use of refuge islands should be reserved for street crossings in long sections of roads where there were no connecting side streets. Gosford Council Agenda P.34, 23 Sep 2014

Botany adventure looks for new plants The HMB Endeavour visited Patonga recently as part of a Botany Basics adventure which saw two young botanists set sail to search areas around Hawkesbury Bay for new plant species. The HMB Endeavour set sail on Monday, September 8, and returned to Farm Cove on Friday, September 12. Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust botanists Drs Trevor Wilson and Matt Renner morphed into Australian history’s most famous botanists, Sir Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. The Botany Basics adventure was the first themed HMB Endeavour voyage run by the Australian National Maritime Museum. The HMB Endeavour sailed past Patonga Beach and moored closeby to allow Drs Wilson and Renner and the crew to reach Refuge Bay Beach via a small inflatable orange motorboat. During their collection trip at Refuge Bay Beach they collected approximately 30 specimens. Among the collections were several species of acacia (wattle), hovea (a native pea), xanthorhoea (grass tree), and pandorea (wonga vine). Some of the species they have collected could be new to science which will be determined when Trevor and Matt cross compare with the collection in the National Herbarium of NSW at the Royal
Botanic Garden, Sydney. The Herbarium provides a suite of identified samples with which the scientists can compare collected species. Dr Wilson said they demonstrated to around 40 crew everything they needed to know about botanical collection, including its purpose and how it’s been done since Banks’ and Solander’s historical journey with Captain Cook aboard the Endeavour. “The Sydney basin presents one of the more biodiverse areas of Australia.” Dr Wilson said, while there were roads and tracks used by the general public, they sailed into gullies and areas that were less accessible, where relatively few botanical collections had been made. “This wilderness has ocean and twisting creeks that meet with mangrove, rainforest, woodland and heath. “The sandstone cliffs, deep gullies, and generally impassable rocky terrain have likely preserved this area by making it difficult to access by land,” said Dr Wilson. The voyage crew was given hands-on experience and learnt how to collect and identify plant species.

Two issues, or more?
Crackdown on nature strip parking I was wondering if you were aware of the crackdown by Gosford Council on Peninsula residents parking on nature strips? I was fined the other Sunday night for parking across the road from my workplace where I’ve been parking for five years. If the residents are parked at the miniscule strip of kerb and guttering outside their townhouses, then the grass is the only place that my work mates and I can park. If I was parked on a footpath or cycleway then I would have copped my infringement with good grace but as you are well aware, the vast majority of the Peninsula has no kerb and guttering.

Holstein MP We can assist you with queries about the following STATE GOVERNMENT SERVICES: Q Q
The editor of the Express Advocate has provided a conveniently limited expose on the proposed developments in Gosford, and the only two issues of interest are “more jobs and greater prosperity”. The editor supports the theory that those submitting Development Applications “are serious about raising the capital for what they propose to build”. Is that true? October 11 1998: Gosford Council approves wharf at Ettalong. November 7 2000: Gosford Council approves terminal at Ettalong. October 5 2001 (Express Advocate): “Fast Ferry Company asks Government for funds.” Was this a serious proposal? This proposal was a failure. February 18 2004 (Express Advocate): Superbest has another go (Spurbest). “Six buildings were planned, but that has been reduced to two: A 15-storey residential tower and a seven-storey perimeter building.” Why was the proposal significantly reduced from six buildings to two? May 28 2004 (Express Advocate): Marina plan unveiled. Reported: “The swimming pool moved from Masons Pde to the base of Brian McGowan Bridge, creating a greenbelt between the public wharf and Gosford Sailing

Club.” “Leagues Club Park cut in half by a footpath-cycleway, with wetland and garden.” “Positive: No funding or timeline has been established for the plan, which was presented to councillors two weeks ago.” How can the Express Advocate staff regard the scheme as “positive” without a timeline and funding? Why was it presented to councillors? The latest proposal for the area is temporary takeaways, described by Regional Development Australia Central Coast as a “dining precinct”. Another major concern is Gosford Council general manager Paul Anderson. I have forwarded correspondence (two letters) to the general manager requesting information on a local matter. Council staff ignored my correspondence. Believing that it is the staff’s duty to respond to the public, I sought comment from the Minister for Local Government. The advice is alarming. Councils are independent and self-governing with wide ranging powers and the Minister for Local Government does not have the authority to intervene in the dayto-day decisions of individual councils, nor can he intervene on my behalf.

Paul Anderson would be very familiar with the Local Government Act 1993, as I see the council’s structure there is one full time CEO and 10 part-time councillors. Is this an organisation the public can trust to assess “$464 million worth of DA’s.” Professor Ian Lowe, author of “Bigger or Better?” reported on many more issues than employment and wealth. Who is correct? Who is independent? The editor of Express Advocate and Paul Anderson, or Ian Lowe? Has the council favoured investors with over generous “incentives”? Mayor Lawrie McKinna did respond to my correspondence, thus filling in for the CEO. At the next council election candidates with CEO experience will have an advantage.

No life without the ABC The ABC is our father and our mother when the bushfires rage: warning, informing, supporting, following through. The ABC is our measure and our mentor when graft and corruption dig under our democracy, shining the light of truth onto grubby, grasping greed. The ABC informs our ignorance, moderates our bigotry, pulling us together. The ABC brings us the best of all the arts – opera, ballet, drama. The ABC opens for us the latest scholarship of the world - science, history, anatomy and more. The ABC keeps us in touch with our first citizens; helping us to relate to people we’ve never met. The ABC showcases our native talent – Seachange, Brides of Christ, Rake, The Slap, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Redfern Now. The ABC is a loved companion to lonely people in the city and the bush.

Association president to stand down Pearl Beach Progress Association president Mr Roger Murray has announced his intention to stand down as president at the annual meeting to be held on Saturday, October 11. Mr Murray said he would stand as one of the vice presidents. “I am delighted that Ross
Christie will be standing as the next president having done a fantastic job as treasurer over the last year,” said Mr Murray. “There will be some other retirements and new faces but I am very happy that there will be a balanced and sensible transition to a new executive. “Without any change there would never be the renewal that is
so important for our community. “While voting at the annual meeting is restricted to members of the association, an invitation is extended to everyone to attend. “Of course if you are interested in taking on an office role, nomination forms are available from our secretary,” said Mr Murray.
With his own program on the Australian Christian Channel on
Foxtel, St John the Baptist Church parish priest Fr John Hill said Mr Downes had a refreshing approach to helping ordinary, everyday people find time for God. “Unlike the movie-style evangelists who preach hellfire and brimstone and demand your
money in return for heavenly rewards, The Catholic Guy uses stories, songs, laughter, inspired readings and plain common sense in four life-changing sessions,” said Fr Hill. Email, 4 Sep 2014 Brooke Simmons, Pursuit Communications

Exercise after breast cancer A free exercise program is being offered in Woy Woy next month to women who have experienced breast cancer at any time in their lives. The free after-breast-cancer exercise program, Encore, which will run from October 16 to December 4. The program is based on the latest scientific research revealing the benefits of exercise for women being treated for breast cancer, which shows that aerobic and resistance exercise is of particular benefit. YWCA NSW Encore manager Ms Kate Guthrey said: “Encore supports the physical and functional well-being of women after the trauma of breast cancer surgery and/or treatment in a nurturing and supportive environment.” “Whilst we have a strong focus on exercise our sessions also include information sharing through guest speakers and links into local community services and resources.” The Breast Cancer Network
of Australia recommends regular exercise to help improve physical and emotional wellbeing, including mood, sleep, and bone mineral density, and to help manage some of the physical side effects of breast cancer treatment, such as fatigue and pain. Professor of Breast Oncology at Macquarie University Hospital, Professor John Boyages said: “My patients love the Encore programthey start off quite hesitant but by the end of the course they leave as good friends, who understand each other.” The program will run in Woy Woy between 10am and 12pm each Thursday for eight weeks. Because medical clearance is required, it is important to register as soon as possible in order to secure a place. Register by calling 9285 6264 or emailing encore@ywcansw.com.au.

Photographic exhibition launched A local artist has launched a photographic exhibition at the Hardys Bay Club. Gosford Art Prize 2011finalist Ms Anne Lyn Sawyer launched her exhibition, Organic Vision, at Bistro 14 at the club on Saturday, September 20. Ms Sawyer, of Ettalong, said her recent completion of a natural history illustration degree and photo imaging diploma fostered and developed her eye for detail and the fascination she has for natures’ marvellous engineering. She said she delighted in creating ambiguity in her interpretations of the natural world and was drawn to the beauty, resilience and diversity of nature and the dire need for its preservation. “My work begins with the production of photographic images taken on location or in my studio, which I then digitally alter during
post production. “Whilst my efforts strive to produce aesthetically pleasing images, the manipulations also reflect and find parallel in the transformations beset upon the natural world at the hands of humanity. “I feel very fortunate to live amongst the rugged, wild beauty of the NSW Central Coast. “In an age where daily life is engulfed by the evocative power of imagery, my greatest wish for my work is that it may bring about a renewed awareness and empathy for the infinite wonders about us, which we ourselves are but a part,” said Ms Sawyer. It was this point that she said created the photographic works title, Organic Vision. Email, 16 Sep 2014 John Brown, Hardys Bay Club

Dr Tonell Handley, an Australian Rotary Health Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, has previously received funds for her mental health research project from Hat Day funding. Her research is looking at new ways to reduce the youth suicide rate in Australia. It involves providing mental health treatments over the internet so that young people can access vital information in the comfort and
privacy of their own home, at a time that’s convenient for them. “The funds for my research have been provided by Australian Rotary Health, from funds raised on National Hat Day,” said Dr Handley. “One hundred per cent of the proceeds from Hat Day go toward mental health research projects like mine.” For more information on the morning tea at Cafe DMR, phone Mark Ellis on 0413 933 244 or visit www.hatday.com.au.

The entire executive team attended a school planning workshop at Ettalong Public School on Monday, September 8. “There is a strong focus on the purpose of what the school
intends to do and why,” said Ms Davis. “After this has been determined, the processes that will be used and the indicators of success will be thought through and documented.” All schools in the Brisbane Water Learning Community attended the training session. Umina Public School also hosted a workshop for administrative staff on Tuesday, September 9, as a part of the new business reforms in place in 229 schools across the state.
“It is great to see people learning together as we explore new ways of doing our work,” said Ms Davis. “Next week we will host another for school principals to refine budget management processes. “While we are a pilot school for what will eventually come into all schools, I have appreciated the support of staff and parents as the way we work is changing,” she said.
The funds will go towards new interactive TVs in two Kindergarten classrooms.

Out and About
New album for Voice winner Former Woy Woy South resident Karise Eden is preparing to release her album Things I’ve Done next month, following up on her win of the ďŹ rst season of The Voice Australia in 2012, After winning The Voice, Karise broke two Australian records by having four of the Top Five songs on the ARIA singles chart that week with You Won’t Let Me, Stay with Me Baby, Hallelujah and I Was Your Girl. The last time one act occupied so many top spots was back in April 1964 when The Beatles held the top six positions. She was also the ďŹ rst to have three debuts in the one week
within the Top Five. That same week, she had eight songs in the Aria Top 40 with You Won’t Let Me, I Was Your Girl, Nothing’s Real but Love and Stay with Me Baby each reaching Aria Gold certiďŹ cation and Hallelujah being certiďŹ ed Platinum. Her album My Journey debuted at number one on the Aria album chart and held that top spot for six weeks, going on to achieve double platinum sales. Her new album will be available from October 17. She has also announced that she is expecting her ďŹ rst child at the end of the year. “I am super happy about ďŹ nally releasing my own album and also
becoming a mum soon,â€? she said. “It’s a really exciting time for me.â€? Eden ďŹ rst began singing in public at the age of 13, when she ďŹ rst learnt to play guitar playing traditional folk and bluegrass. Last year saw Eden road testing new material with performances at Blues Fest and small shows around Australia earlier this year. She said the new songs were received so well live that it inspired her to get back into the studio and record. Those studio sessions culminated in her brand new album Things I’ve Done.

Showoff exhibition at Pearl Beach Pearl Beach Community Hall will host the sixth Showoffs Art Exhibition this year with the opening night to be held on Friday, October 3, from 6pm. The exhibition will contain local and outback scenic paintings by Ms Pim Sarti and Ms Marijke Greenway as well as “edible still lives”, created by Ms Pim Sarti. The duo has been painting together since 2001, an activity that consisted of the two going out every week to paint all over the
Central Coast as part of a group. The Showoff exhibition was created when the Sarti and Greenway found that they had painted enough for an exhibition and decided to show off their work to their friends and neighbours. The Showoff exhibition takes place every two years. The exhibition will continue until Monday, October 6, running from 10am to 5pm on each day. Entry is free and all paintings will be for sale. Email, 17 Sep 2014 Marijke Greenway, Pearl Beach
Food chain provides disability employment A fast food chain on the Peninsula has employed 40 people with disabilities through an agreement with a disability employment service. The arrangement is a result of the partnership between Job Centre Australia and the Saronbell group of McDonald’s stores. Job Centre Australia’s key account manager Travis Williamson said: “We have placed people into various roles including
customer areas, service areas, McCafe and maintenance staff with many going onto permanent career paths with these restaurants.” Saronbell owner Ron Mussalli owns 10 McDonald’s stores across the Central Coast including stores in Umina and Woy Woy. Job Centre Australia presented Mr Mussalli and his two senior managers framed rugby league jerseys of their team of choice as well as a plaque for each of Saronbell’s 10 Central Coast restaurants.
Mr Mussalli said: “We are motivated and enthusiastic to see where our successful partnership with Job Centre Australia will continues to take us.” “This partnership has been rewarding and has allowed Saronbell Pty Ltd to play a bigger role in our community as well as provide job opportunities to many persons with a disability.” Media release, 9 Sep 2014 Travis Williamson, Job Centre Australia

One of the Umina Soccer Club women's teams
Successful year in women’s soccer This year marked another successful year for the Umina Soccer Club’s women’s teams. This was the first year that the Women’s League included a Reserve Grade competition as well as the existing Premier League. This made Umina United the only club on the Peninsula to have both grades competing. The Ettalong women’s premier league team finished in fourth place after losing their semi-final at Pluim Park against Gosford. The Reserve Grade came fifth, almost making the finals.
The women’s all age four team finished third, after going into extra time and losing to The Entrance with a score of 2 – 1. Umina United also fielded a women’s over-30s side. The team finished in third place in the A Grade competition after losing a penalty shoot-out to Kariong. The women’s under-13s were successful in making the finals, however, lost the game by one goal.

Triathlon club hosted by Italian champion cyclist Members of the St Huberts Island Triathlon Club were recently hosted over nine days in Italy by Italian champion cyclist Eros Poli. On the first night, the club was treated to an opera festival by Placido Domingo in the Arena in Verona. Built in 30AD, with original seating for 30,000 people, the arena is now used for major events. In 1981 and 1984, it was used for the presentations at the end of a stage in the Tour of Italy, Italy’s biggest cycle race. Six cyclists from the Central Coast were taken on rides in Verona, Lake Garda and the Dolomites, the distances varied from 64km to over 120km, the biggest test being the climb up
Monte Baldo which saw a continual climb of 30km. This was followed by an even longer downhill ride with many twists and sharp turns with speeds in excess of 70km/h reached. “On one day, when the club had to return to their hotel early, Poli who was driving the support vehicle, went ahead and blocked the roundabouts so that the cyclists could peddle through without stopping,” said club member Mr John Greenway. “However, although Italian drivers seem to ignore many road rules, they certainly acknowledge the right of cyclists to be on the road.” Poli won gold in the 1984 Team Pursuit over 4000 metres at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles
John Greenway, Steve Brooks, Eros Poli, Ray Moore, Andrew Mahoney and Kim Mahoney during a charity ride in Revine Lago, Italy
and then topped it with winning the Montpellier to Carpentras stage of the Tour de France in 1994. That stage includes a 25km climb up Mont Ventoux, one of the most gruelling stages in the Tour. Media release, 4 Sep 2014 John Greenway, St Huberts Island Triathlon Club
Woy Woy wins place in rugby union grand final The Central Coast Rugby Union Premier One preliminary final was held at Woy Woy oval on Saturday, September 13, with Woy Woy defeating Terrigal by 29 points to 10. The match was fast paced which saw Woy Woy’s offensive play clash with Terrigal’s hardened defensive line. Minute 14 saw Woy Woy’s aggression pay off when winger Kelevi Vatubuli passed inside to Tevita Tangi Noa who crossed for the try wide out. Woy Woy opened the scoring and led by five points to nil. Terrigal responded with a penalty goal in the 25th minute when fullback Adam Danckert made the scores 5-3.
In the 28th minute, Woy Woy kicked their only penalty goal of the match to bring the score to 8-3 where it remained until half time. The second half saw Terrigal take advantage of a loose pass with Danckert scoring a try under the posts and bringing the score 10-8 Terrigal’s way. Woy Woy responded with a try of their own by prop Apisai Vatubuli which allowed Woy Woy to retake the lead 15-10 by the sixth minute of the second stanza, and then again in the 14th minute by Tangi Noa. For the last 24 minutes of the match neither team was able to secure the vital points they needed to widen the points gap despite aggressive action on both ends of the field.
Right on the fulltime whistle, Woy Woy winger Chris Hitch made a long break and crossed under the posts. The conversion of this try made the final score 29 points to 10 and saw Terrigal’s season end. Woy Woy will move into the Grand Final against Ourimbah. The best players for Woy Woy were prop Apisai Vatubuli, number eight Tevita Tangi Noa, who scored two tries, centre Junior Stowers and halfback Sione Tok. Terrigal’s best were lock Phil Heard, who was outstanding in the tight all day, flankers Dave Crawford and Ryan Metcalfe and centre Mitchell Hirst.
