Channel, Ocean Beach, Pearl Beach Rockpool and Patonga Creek all received a poor rating. According to the report, while water quality was generally suitable for swimming in dry weather conditions at Ocean Beach, elevated enterococci levels may be recorded following light rainfall. The report stated that Pretty Beach Baths and Patonga Creek were also frequently suitable for swimming during dry weather conditions, but elevated levels of enterococci were recorded following light rainfall. Elevated enterococci levels were often recorded during both dry and wet weather conditions at Ettalong Channel and Woy Woy Baths. The report advises that swimming at these locations is best avoided during and for up to three days following rainfall or if there are any signs of stormwater pollution, such as discoloured water or floating debris. However, Gosford Council’s director of governance and planning

Ms Danielle Dickson said local beachgoers could be confident that Gosford had some of the cleanest ocean beaches in NSW. “The report graded nine of the 11 ocean beaches monitored in the Gosford region as good,” said Ms Dickson. “Overall, the water quality at most locations improved in 2013-2014 as a result of drier conditions, and it is expected that it will continue to improve as rainfall conditions return to average. “Swimming sites graded as poor or very poor have permanent advisory signs recommending that swimming should be avoided for up to three days after rain in estuarine or lagoon environments and up to one day after rain at beaches. “Beachwatch also issues daily pollution forecasts to enable swimmers to make informed decisions about where and when to swim. “Council continues to invest millions of dollars each year in protecting local water quality

by improving the performance, reliability and capacity of its sewerage and stormwater networks in the vicinity of many of these sites,” said Ms Dickson. NSW Shadow Minister for Water Peter Primrose said people shouldn’t have to put up with declining water quality and polluted waterways because of the Government’s cuts to water maintenance – especially as we approach summer. “It’s unacceptable that many of our best-loved swimming spots have been given the thumbs down by Beachwatch. “This has an impact on our everyday lives.” Media statement, 13 Oct 2014 Danielle Dickson, Gosford Council Media release, 7 Oct 2014 Chris Taylor, office of Peter Primrose State of the Beaches 201314 report, Oct 2014 Photo: Val Bridge

Wamberal Lagoon, Avoca Lagoon, Patonga Creek, Pearl Beach rock pool, Ettalong Channel, Pretty Beach baths, Woy Woy baths, Davistown baths and Yattalunga baths were all given a poor rating while Terrigal Lagoon was given a very poor rating. Nine swimming locations, including MacMasters Beach, Avoca, North Avoca, Wamberal and Forresters Beach were labelled as good. No swimming locations in the Gosford LGA were labelled as very good, compared with 16 of Wyong Shire’s swimming locations that received the top rating. According to the report, while water quality was generally suitable for swimming in dry weather conditions at Terrigal and Ocean Beaches, elevated enterococci levels may be recorded following light rainfall. “Terrigal beach is often impacted by discharge from Terrigal Lagoon. “It is recommended that swimming be avoided during and up to one day after rainfall or if there are signs of stormwater pollution, such as discoloured water or odour or ﬂoating debris,” states the report. The report highlighted 42 swimming locations in NSW that failed to live up to the community’s expectations for water safety including four ocean beaches, 22

estuarine beaches and 16 lake/lagoon swimming sites. Gosford Council’s Director of Governance and Planning Ms Danielle Dickson said local beachgoers could be confident that Gosford City had some of the cleanest ocean beaches in NSW. “The report graded nine of the 11 ocean beaches monitored in the Gosford region as good,” said Ms Dickson. “Unfortunately, not all of our beaches escaped the impacts of rainfall during the year with Terrigal and Ocean beaches rated as poor. “Overall, the water quality at most locations improved in 2013/2014 as a result of drier conditions, and it is expected that it will continue to improve as rainfall conditions return to average. “Forty one percent of Gosford’s 22 monitored sites were graded as good or very good in 2013/2014, up from 32% in 2012/2013. “However, the report also identified the continued water quality issues at 11 of the region’s lagoon, estuarine and ocean baths swimming sites. “Sites like Terrigal Lagoon, Patonga Creek, Ettalong Channel and Cockrone Lagoon rated poorly, mainly due to stormwater and wastewater impacts following wet conditions and flooding events.

“Swimming sites graded as poor or very poor have permanent advisory signs recommending that swimming should be avoided for up to three days after rain in estuarine or lagoon environments and up to one day after rain at beaches. “Beachwatch also issues daily pollution forecasts to enable swimmers to make informed decisions about where and when to swim. “Council continues to invest millions of dollars each year in protecting local water quality by improving the performance, reliability and capacity of its sewerage and stormwater networks in

the vicinity of many of these sites. “Just this year, two new stormwater harvesting and reuse schemes worth around $7 million started operating in Terrigal and East Gosford. “We’re also currently seeking the community’s feedback on our latest efforts to protect the health of Wamberal, Terrigal, Avoca and Cockrone lagoons. “The draft Coastal Zone Management Plan for Gosford’s Coastal Lagoons will provide guidance for future actions that will help to achieve longterm improvements to each lagoon’s health,” Ms

Dickson said. NSW Shadow Minister for Water Peter Primrose said people shouldn’t have to put up with declining water quality and polluted waterways because of the Government’s cuts to water maintenance – especially as we approach summer. “It’s unacceptable that many of our best-loved swimming spots have been given the thumbs down by Beachwatch in their latest State of the Beaches report. “This has an impact on our everyday lives. “Our beaches are dirtier than they once were. “You get more wastewater overﬂows into our rivers and

Three phone black spots listed Three mobile phone black spots near the Peninsula have listed on a database of regional and remote areas having inadequate mobile coverage. Locations nominated by the public included Patonga, the Main Northern Railway between Hawkesbury and Woy Woy and the M1 Pacific Motorway between Cowan and Woy Woy. Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks said the database was an important step towards the implementation of the Coalition

Government’s $100 million Mobile Black Spot Program. “The volume of locations being nominated is evidence of the strong community demand for improved mobile phone coverage in our area,” said Ms Wicks. Ms Wicks said the locations to be funded by the program would be chosen through a competitive selection process, designed to direct the funding to locations of greatest need.

Dozer use continues Gosford Council has extended the tender for hire of the D11 dozer at Woy Woy Tip for an extra three months due to excavation delays. Excavation began in May at the southern end of the tip, with the removal of large amounts of sandstone material. Excavation of some of harder sections resulted in delays due to dozer repairs and other heavy

plant equipment breakdowns. The contract was due to expire on October 31. However, it allowed for an extension of up to 12 weeks. The contractor, Robson’s Civil, has indicated that their dozer is available to continue this work for the anticipated period. Gosford Council agenda CON.16, 14 Oct 2014

Volunteers invited to clean up graffiti Volunteers to help clean up graffiti as part of NSW Graffiti Removal Day have been invited to meet at 9am on Sunday, October 26, in front of Member for Gosford Mr Chris Holstein’s Office in Woy Woy. Graffiti Removal Day is a joint partnership between the NSW Government and Rotary Down Under aimed at encouraging local communities to get involved in the campaign to stop graffiti. “Every year, graffiti vandalism costs NSW more than $100 million to remove graffiti from public

assets, community facilities and private property,” Mr Holstein said. “Graffiti Removal Day gives us all an opportunity to do our bit to combat graffiti and clean up our local area.’ “Local councils, community groups, sporting organisations, businesses and residents are all encouraged to get involved and support this fantastic event,” he said. Woy Woy Rotary Club member and project coordinator Mr John Greenway said the program was a great way for the community to tackle vandalism as a team. “People who volunteer will be

supplied with cleaning materials, safety equipment and will receive training on how to safely remove graffiti,” said Mr Greenway. Mr Holstein said the day would instil an important message to the wider community. “By working together we can reduce graffiti and educate young people about the negative impacts of vandalism to help deter antisocial and destructive behaviour.” To register, contact John Greenway on 0416 087 484 or john.a.greenway@gmail.com.

Killy Cares aims to support people in need, not only through the volunteering efforts of community members but also where services or equipment may need to be purchased on behalf of an individual. The committee has drawn up a tentative list of individuals who may need such support or help.

Leopard seal spotted at Killcare Early morning beach walkers may have bumped into a leopard seal on Killcare beach on Saturday, September 20. National Parks and Wildlife Service rangers and ORCCA representative Mr Ronny Ling were quickly on the scene to protect both the seal and beach goers. Mr Ling confirmed it was the same seal that visited Stockton Beach on August 28 and was also seen around the Spit Bridge area on September 15-16.

Volunteers recognised at ceremony Two Woy Woy residents, Fred Leake and Aidan Morley, have won awards at the 2014 Central Coast Volunteer of the Year Awards, announced at the Central Coast Leagues Club on Wednesday, October 15. The overall award went to volunteer Mr Leake for his work with Woy Woy South Public School, where he has spent the past 10 years helping teachers and students in the classroom. This includes taking reading groups and small activities to bolster students’ skills and education. Mr Leake also won the Senior Volunteer of the Year Award category. Aidan, 15, won the Student Volunteer of the Year award for his volunteer work with dementia patients in the high care facility at Hammond Care. In addition to volunteering at Hammond Care, Aidan volunteers for a number of other causes including The Red Shield Appeal, 40 Hour Famine and the Coast Shelter Restaurant. The Centre for Volunteering’s

CEO Ms Gemma Rygate said the annual awards were the State’s way of recognising the outstanding work of volunteers in our community. “Volunteers make a huge contribution to our community without seeking anything in return,” Ms Rygate said. The Awards were presented by Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks, Wyong Council mayor Cr Doug Eaton and Ms Rygate. Minister for Citizenship and Communities Mr Victor Dominello said the awards were an opportunity to uncover and celebrate the many great achievements of volunteers across NSW. “The NSW Government is proud to sponsor these awards because we understand the profound social and economic value of volunteering,” he said. All regional winners will be in the running for the overall NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards, which are announced at a gala event on International Volunteer Day, Friday, December 5.

The Browns

Retirement village attracts the Browns A retirement village at Daleys Point now has 11 people with a surname of Brown in a population of 150. The Cove Village social convenor Ms Wendy Whiteman said: “To have 11 with the same name surely must be some sort of record.” Bill, Keith, John, Norm, George, Karen, Lettie, Del, Irene, Betty and Joan make up the 11 residents who all have the surname Brown. “We also have four Jones

and two Smiths, but the Browns outnumber them all,” said Ms Whiteman. “John and Del are among some of the longest residing residents of the village and were amazed as the Browns kept arriving year after year up until the present year with the latest arrivals being Bill and Karen. Among its activities, the village has a snooker club in which Bill, John, Norm and George take part.

Ms Whiteman said the Brown women were “more into participating in the village activities particularly the very active Social Club, which this month contributed $1000 to Westmead Children’s Hospital Burns Unit” “Altogether they are all good mates and are rather proud that not one of them is a Browne,” said Ms Whiteman.

New grandstand will please no-one The need to replace the Woy Woy Oval grandstand has been known for some years. It has been the subject of numerous political promises for funding at both State and Federal elections. After all this time, plans for the new structures have been released. Requests for an open forum to discuss the ground’s requirements have fallen on Gosford Council’s deaf ears and, until now, average ratepayers have been unable to express their opinion or offer suggestions. The proposed new grandstand is not a replacement for the existing structure but more an attempt to please everyone, while pleasing no-one. It will not afford the views of the playing surface currently enjoyed and will seat 166 fewer patrons. After the home and away teams, officials and referees have erected their marquees and placed their seats, massage tables and ancillary equipment at the edge of the field, the lower levels will have a view of nothing. Also, the new lower profile does not afford the same protection from wind and rain but will have this wonderful advantage: “In easterly views from the oval, tennis courts and adjoining parklands, the open space under the grandstand roof will enable views of the of Woy Woy escarpment to be revealed.” Personally, I have never stood in the Austin Butler car park thinking to myself “without that great grandstand I would have an

It was hoped that the work could be finished during one summer period to avoid closure of the facility for a season. Unfortunately the Development Application states that construction will take 48 weeks and require 186 workers. These workers will certainly provide a much needed economic boost for the local shopkeepers. The proposal to move the playing field 30 metres to the north will have disastrous consequences for both codes of football. With the tennis courts and boundary fence only five metres from the proposed edge of the field, penalty kicks for the line will regularly land outside the ground. This will necessitate an official having to retrieve the ball from the courts and other areas while preventing the public accessing the game, free. This area was also used by both the home and away teams to warm-up before and after games. After the erection of safety

ropes to keep spectators the required distance from the field, there will be a corridor only about a metre wide between the field and the fence. Where they are to go now to warm-up is open for suggestions. The proposal removes 55 parking spaces from the existing Chambers Place short term car park and replaces them with 40 spaces stolen from the Chambers Place overflow commuter car park. The Development Application includes details of three surveys conducted to determine the present usage of the various car parks. The surveys were carried out on a Saturday, and the Monday and Wednesday of the following week There is no information on where the users of the short term parking were going or what they were doing. If, for instance, they were visiting the library, they, like the inconvenienced commuters, will now have a longer walk to conduct their business or get to the rail station. There is also no mention of the disgraceful condition of the surface in the commuter car park which renders large sections of it unusable during rain. Puddles three or four centimetres deep are commonplace. There is also no mention of whether the tennis courts were being used when the surveys was taken. It is very pleasing to read that the ground will be open to the public and they will be encouraged to use this wonderful facility. Quote from the DA: “In conjunction with the general community use of the forecourt and its associated facilities, it is intended for the oval and its surrounds within the perimeter fence, to be open for general public access, during daylight hours to encourage broader community use, support healthy lifestyles and recreational amenity.” It may also encourage dog owners to allow their canine friend

to run and play and do all the other things dogs do. I just hope I don’t get tackled on that part of the field. Sporting teams have limited sources of income. One of the major streams is the sale of entry tickets on game day. Unfortunately, the proposed ticket office is not situated so as to also control access to the ground. It will be necessary therefore to have an additional person manning the walkway into the venue. A second major source is the sale of hot food, e.g. steak sandwiches, bacon and egg rolls etc. The proposal has no facilities for a barbecue or other covered cooking space. The plan shows very limited male toilet facilities. When a large crowd all decide to attend to a call of nature at halftime there will be long queues of desperate spectators. The proposal is not for a replacement grandstand but only tiered seating which is part of a larger white elephant. This is an opportunity to build a wonderful sporting complex which would be the envy of sports lovers for miles. Instead we will be lumbered with this monstrosity which puts a coffee shop before the true purpose of the precinct. This plan does not deliver what is wanted and will prove to be an enormous waste of tax-payers’ and ratepayers’ money. Email, 6 Oct 2014 Fred Charles, Woy Woy

Council has lost the plot on parking Our council has lost the plot, (Council justifies nature strip parking crackdown, Peninsula News, October 7). Parking cars in front of your own property is what I grew up with. Umina Beach is a village. What next, parking meters? When it rains, puddles often encroach onto both road and nature strip; inconvenient yes, but I love it, old Umina. Who really walks on the nature strip? Uneven ground, trees, bindies and oh my god, a parked car. Gosford Council employee Bruce Macnee has no idea about the area’s culture and feel. I bet he did not grow up in Umina. Maybe a local needs to be placed in his position, not an overzealous bean counter, someone with a local feel and affection for the district. The letter of law is not always the correct course of action. This is revenue-raising at its best. Most people in our quiet streets walk on the tar being very careful not to fall into the numerous pot holes but it’s safer than the nature strip. Just look at the ridiculous railings council requires after units are built and land levels are raised with foot paths installed in front of only that building, often having an 18 inch drop at the boundary. It’s like that for years, just drive around the Peninsula. Email, 8 Oct 2014 Brian Lewis, Umina

Vision is restricted The cars and equipment parked on the footpath on the corner of Rabaul Ave and Pozieres Ave, Umina, restricts vision in a dangerous manner. There is much traffic from Pozieres Ave and much traffic comes along Rabaul Ave, and vision is so impaired that one has to drive onto the road to look for oncoming traffic.

Many love public art David Keig and Lesley Sheppard are quite right (Peninsula News, August 25). Many locals love the public art, especially on the walls of Coopers, criticised by Matthew Wales. If Mr Wales knows anything about the locals, he must recognise that Coopers is a much-loved local institution and the art in the alley reflects exactly that.

Defibrillator donated to Woy Woy police The Morning Star Peninsula Lodge has donated a Pad 500 Defibrillator for use by police at Woy Woy. The emergency equipment will be deployed in the Woy Woy supervisor’s police vehicle, enabling police on the Peninsula mobile access to the life-saving device. Lodge Morning Star publicity officer Mr Richard Black said several months ago Woy Woy Police rushed to the aid of a person who had collapsed in the multi-storey car park behind the Woy Woy police station. “They were one of the first on the scene. “However, they had to rush back to the Woy Woy police station to retrieve their own defibrillator when it was apparent one was not available near the scene nor was

there one fitted in the Woy Woy Police supervisor’s vehicle,” said Mr Black. “Luckily by the time police had returned, paramedics were on the scene and successfully revived the person who thankfully survived the ordeal and eventually made a complete recovery.” Inspector Jess Lockett received the device from the Morning Star Peninsula Lodge on Tuesday, September 30. “Inspector Lockett expressed the appreciation of Woy Woy police for having these defibrillators at their disposal, not only at the station but now also in their supervisors vehicle enabling the on duty police access to this mobile life saving device,” said Mr Black.

Storytime with ‘baby-wearing’ theme Sixteen Peninsula families gathered in Woy Woy Library on the morning of Friday, October 10, for storytime with a baby-wearing and breastfeeding theme. Babies were “worn” close to their mothers where they could relax, feed, watch the activities or just have a snooze. Older toddlers and children enjoyed stories, had fun colouringin and were involved in a lucky dip. Each family was given a children’s book to take home.

The event was held in recognition of International Babywearing Week, held from October 5 to 11, to raise money for the charity Braver, Stronger, Smarter. “By promoting the benefits of babywearing during International Babywearing Week, we have been able to spread awareness and offer hands-on help to parents who would like to carry their babies more often or more easily than they have previously,” said founder of the Babywearing Central Coast

Peninsula group Ms Celeste Boonaerts. The event was registered in the Babywearing and Breastfeeding Award, which means that Babywearing Central Coast Peninsula is now in the running to win one of five community grants for Braver, Stronger, Smarter, worth $1000 each. “Many other Babywearing Week events will be competing for these community grants on both sides of the Tasman,” said Ms Boonaerts. “If successful, Babywearing Central Coast Peninsula will donate the money raised to Braver, Stronger, Smarter, an organisation created to assist the Wheatley family to meet the cost of the medical treatment for their six-year-old daughter Eva who continues to fight an aggressive childhood cancer. “We are specifically aiming to contribute to the cost of a new robotic arm so Eva can once again enjoy riding her bike, after she lost her left arm to a large tumour earlier this year,” said Ms Boonaerts. The lucky dip at the Babywearing Storytime event, and the sale of raffle tickets, have so far raised over $350 for the charity. The raffle will be drawn at the end of October and the prize pool is valued at over $1000 including an Ergobaby carrier, original art, fine jewellery and more. “The Babywearing Central Coast Peninsula group welcomes parents who practice baby wearing or expectant couples who are interested in finding out more about baby wearing to join us for future events as well as informal meets to socialise with other families on the Peninsula, to learn more about baby wearing and to discover a small, local community of like-minded families,” said Ms Boonaerts. “Babywearing has many benefits

for babies including decreasing crying and fussiness by up to 51 per cent, promoting healthy sleep patterns; accelerating infant growth; increasing the learning ability and a baby’s sense of security and attachment to their caregiver. “Babywearing also benefits parents and other caregivers, significantly decreasing the stress associated with crying and anxious babies as well as allowing them to

more easily and comfortably care for their children while attending daily tasks of living,” said Ms Boonaerts. For more information, or to purchase raffle tickets, contact Celeste at celeste@ angelrockjewellers.com.au or on 0407 703 759.

Ideal tides allowed a barge to get in beside the boats and the sides of the first boat were able to be dismantled and the floor lifted out. A reciprocating saw was used to cut the boat in half and a crane winch lifted each piece onto the barge. A four metre tin boat was then lifted out of the mud and drained of water but was too heavy to be lifted on board. The tin boat was towed back to the skip bin and lifted by the crane out of the water ready for disposal. The two larger boats could not be loaded due to their weight and the falling tide. The larger barge was lifted on top of the smaller boat to allow drainage and easier access on the next field trip. All boating timber was off loaded into a skip bin at Moxham’s Oyster Shed.

Little Theatre presents The Odd Couple Last year’s Arts and Crafts Day

Woy Woy Little Theatre will soon present its fourth and final production of the year, Neil Simon’s classic comedy The Odd Couple. Performances will be held at the Peninsula theatre from October 31 to November 16. This play has not previously been presented by the group during its 52-year history, although there was the female version of the play, staged in March 1997 featuring Michelle Wallace as Olive and Jane-Ann Scott as Florence. The forthcoming production is the one that catapulted Neil Simon into the big league after it

premiered on Broadway in 1965. Director Ms Shea Wicks said Simon wrote this piece when he was at the peak of his creativity level. “He had cut his comedy teeth in one of the most famous laugh factories of all time writing for American TV legend Sid Caesar,” said Ms Wicks. “He was bouncing ideas and gag lines around the table with other ambitious writers including Woody Allen, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, before moving on to write for the Phil Silvers Show,” she said. Adept at creating colourful characters and fashioning clever

dialogue, Simon had longed for Broadway success as a playwright. He achieved that goal with his first play Come Blow Your Horn in 1961. Two years later he wrote another hit Barefoot in the Park which in turn was followed in 1965 by The Odd Couple, which catapulted him into the big league. Ms Wicks said: “I think I’ve been blessed with an excellent cast, with a balance of very experienced actors, Stephen Cummings as Felix and David Wicks as Oscar, some good character actors including Keith Conway as Speed, Chris Ashcroft as Roy and Douglas Kent as henpecked Vinnie, newcomer Aidan Cuddington as Murray and some new kids on the block – Rebecca McRae and Tiffany Tuffin as the attractive Pigeon sisters who live a flight or two above Oscar’s apartment.”

Ukelele players at festival The Troubalukers and Uke Central joined forces on Sunday, September 28, to play at the Central Coast Ukulele Festival held at The Entrance.

Inspiration drawn from 5,000 years of Chinese culture Exquisite costumes from ancient dynasties & peoples Stunning, animated backdrops

A production nothing short of a miracle. HEN YUN—it’s a grand production. Every year we start fresh. Every detail matters. Our goal? Not just another show. We take our craft beyond the boundaries of performing arts as you know it.

A Shen Yun show is a fusion of classical arts with modern appeal. As one audience member put it, “It’s like a fashion show, opera, concert, and dance performance all rolled into one.” Difficult?

Yes. Impossible? No. Our passion motivates us to bring it all together into one extraordinary experience. Classical Chinese dance lies at the heart of our performances. The dancers—with what some have called “limitless bodies”—turn an intensely difficult art form into something beautiful and effortless. China’s 5,000 years of civilization provide an endless source of inspiration. The choreographers work

closely with the composers to recreate ancient stories and legends, or convey an aspect of the culture, through short pieces that last no more than a few minutes. Our graphic artists, meanwhile, use advanced digital technology to produce stunning animated backdrops that correspond precisely to each dance. After seeing the show, one audience member marveled, “This production… is nothing short of a miracle. miracle.”

Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts was founded with the mission to restore 5,000 years of divinely inspired Chinese culture, which has been mostly destroyed in China under communist rule. In fact, a show like Shen Yun can no longer be found in China today.

Hands-on contemporary art workshop Killcare artist Ms Jean Scott will lead a hands-on one-day contemporary art workshop in Kincumber on Sunday, November 9, for would-be

artists. Ms Scott said the workshop was intended for anyone interested in being creative who enjoys expressing themselves and having fun in the process.

“Designed for beginners wanting to gain confidence, to feel free with their art, and to express themselves in a loose manner, the workshop will take the seascape as a starting point for creating a unique image,” said Ms Scott. The one-day Creative Seascapes workshop is part of the Artscope series of workshops,

led by various teachers and held at Kincumber School of Arts. “The class, held from 10am to 4pm, gives everyone the opportunity to explore different techniques and create an original work,” said Ms Scott. “We will work on paper with acrylic paints after learning a few simple techniques of paint

application, exploring colour, texture, and materials. “The class will also be a great avenue for more experienced artists to loosen up.” For more information, contact Jean on 4360 2565 or scotties@ bigpond.net.au. Email, 15 Oct 2014 Jean Scott, Killcare

Woy Woy Rugby Club reviews year’s achievements This year, Woy Woy Rugby Club took out the major title in Premier League and, in capping off a great year, also won the Presidents Cup and the under-17s titles. Woy Woy Rugby Club has previously won two first grade Grand Finals in 1987 and 1988 and last contested a grand final 23 years ago in 1991. This year’s victory is made more remarkable in that last year the club’s first grade side did not win a game all year. Paul Gooley, who coached last year’s first grade side, was this year joined by Carl Von Kotz who has a wealth of experience and has tasted success at other clubs. They began their campaign in November last year and, through some astute recruitment and hard work, began the pre-season with renewed hope of getting off the bottom of the ladder. After a Sevens tournament in Crescent Head and a few trials, the coaches said they were confident of a much better showing this year. First Grade started with three losses; however, this was against three of the better teams in the competition. They were to lose only one more match in the first round. The side began to hit their straps and lost one match in the second round.

This was against Ourimbah who they went on to beat convincingly in the grand final. Third grade only lost two games all year. They had a wealth of experience in the forward pack which laid the foundation for the win. Gooley, who scored two tries in the grand final, was joined by his brother David (Jabba), Glenn Touzel, Christian Hobbs and Dave Plunkett, who had all played many years of first grade together. Besides Gooley, Paul Vulivosa and Dave Plunkett were the best players on the day, with Plunkett being awarded Man of the Match honours. Both clubs had masses of supporters all around the ground for the grand final, but it was Woy Woy’s supporters on the eastern side of the ground making the most noise. They are affectionately known as the Sunnysiders and were all dressed in red shirts for the day. The coaches had asked for an aggressive start and the players delivered in spades. Every time Ourimbah’s former NRL star Zane Tetavano ran the ball he was swamped by Lulu Taumalolo, Junior Stowers and Joseva Kunawave. In attack, Woy Woy threw themselves into the rucks and produced just the start they had wanted. An early penalty goal by

sharpshooter Matt Riddle was followed by a good try to Junior Stowers and saw Woy Woy lead 10 nil. Ourimbah hung in and scored a try after a Woy Woy error to keep the scores close at 10-8. Not long after, Daniel Campbell took an intercept and raced 50 metres before passing to Sione Toki for another try. The Woy Woy Lions had the better of the first half, however, the Razorbacks weren’t giving up and were rewarded with a try just before halftime to make it 15-12 in Woy Woy’s favour at halftime. In the break, Gooley and Von Kotz told the players that to win the game they needed to keep up the aggression, use the wind that they would have at their backs and play deep in Ourimbah’s territory. Three changes were made and Sam Moane, Nick Garnett and Chris Hitch were introduced to Woy Woy’s side. Woy Woy began the second stanza as they did in the first and had a couple of good attacking raids. It was about 10 minutes before Taumalolo threw a good dummy and raced away to score under the posts. Junior Stowers capped off a great game and crossed for his second try minutes later. Woy Woy led 29-12 and looked in total control. Ourimbah kept coming though

and had many moments of possession, however, Woy’s Woy’s defence was rock solid. Late in the game, Woy Woy were rewarded with another try to centre Kunawave. The conversion by Riddle made it 36-12, which remained the final score. The big margin allowed Woy Woy’s bench players to be given some game time. A successful Presentation night was held with over 170 people in attendance. Major award winners were Best Player Sione Toki, who also won the Central Coast Representative Player

defeating Kanwal in the grand final to win the Premiership. It was back to back premiership success for Southern and Ettalong United after also winning the grand final last year. Southern and Ettalong United started the game on fire and were unlucky to not be two goals up before Kanwal surprised with a quick break to score the first goal after 20 minutes. “Not to be put off, the boys in blue stuck to their fluent attacking style and were rewarded with a superb piece of individual brilliance from Ben Crowson,” said Southern and Ettalong United vice president Gary Fish. “After receiving the ball half way, Ben made a weaving run through the Kanwal defence down the right hand side line, turned left on the edge of the penalty box, dribbled past another four defenders until he reached the far left hand side of the penalty box, turned and placed an excellent left footed angled shot from 25 metres into the top right hand side of the net,” said Fish. Southern and Ettalong United continued to dominate for the rest of the match and were unlucky not to have a few more goals. However, desperate defence from Kanwal saw them hang on for the score to be locked at 1-1 after normal time. Southern and Ettalong

United continued to dominate in extra time and were finally rewarded with a first time volley from Adam ‘Ned’ Kelly, which turned out to be the match winner. “This goal sent the huge contingent of Southern and Ettalong United supporters into delirium as they knew the back to back premierships dream was about to become a reality,” said Fish. “The win capped off one of the most successful years for Southern and Ettalong United senior teams in the club’s history, with first grade winning back to back premierships and the league championship, reserve grade winning the premiership, the women’s AA1 side winning both the league championship and premiership, the over 35As winning both the league championship and

Hole out of action at golf course The fourth hole at the Everglades golf course will be out of play due to renovations at Everglades Country Club which are scheduled to start on Monday, October 27. The work is expected to take five to six months to complete. During construction, there will be tractors, trucks and excavation equipment all around the fourth hole. The order of play of all golfing rounds during the construction period will be first hole, second hole, third hole, 11a hole, fifth hole, sixth hole, seventh hole, eighth hole, ninth hole, 10th hole, 11b hole, 12th hole, 13th hole, 14th hole, 15th hole, 16th hole, 17th hole and 18th hole. After playing the third hole, golfers will travel to the 11th tee via

the fourth tee crossover. Players will tee off the 11th tee into 11a green and this will be their fourth hole. After playing 11a as the fourth hole, golfers will travel to the fifth tee. Golfers then play in numerical order until they walk off the 10th green. After playing the 10th hole, golfers will travel to the 11b markers which are situated in the middle of the 11th fairway. Golfers will then play into the existing 11th green. After this hole, golfers play as per the normal layout in numerical order. Signage will be placed at the key change areas on the course to guide the golfers. Newsletter, Oct 2014 Everglades Bulletin
