Woy Woy Lions suffer narrow defeat
The Woy Woy Lions suffered a narrow 24-25 defeat to Gosford at Gosford Showground, in round three of Central Coast Rugby Union competition at the weekend.
"This was a physical, hard battle from start to finish," said rugby union publicity officer Mr Larry Thomson.
"There was absolutely nothing in this match.
"Woy Woy led by 14 points to eight at halftime, so it was obviously anyone's fixture at that stage.
"Woy Woy jumped away to a handy lead at the midway point of the second half.
"When they led 21 -8, things were looking good for them.
"However, Gosford were able to keep in the match and after taking the lead 22-21, the match developed into a real and continuing arm wrestle.
"A penalty goal on the full-time whistle saw Gosford take the win at the last moment."
Best players for Woy Woy were halfback Siaosi Finau, hooker Soane Lakalaka, and No 8 Sonatane Lilo.
