But First!!!

Central Coast
REPRESENTATIVE RUGBY SEASON COMMENCES

The Central Coast Senior 1st XV commences their NSW Country Championship programme this Saturday with a home game against traditional rivals Newcastle. Coaches Jed Meyn and Bradd Hoban have been working with the team since January and are hoping for a great start on Saturday at Woy Woy Oval.

Meym and Hoban, last year’s Premiership winning coaches with Avoca Beach, started their campaign well last Saturday with a good win over Eastern Suburbs in Sydney. This is the only trial in the lead up to the opening Championship game this Saturday. The local side scored a 10 tries to 2 win over an Eastern Suburbs selection in a trial were players were tried in various positions.

The real battle starts this Saturday when the Central Coast Waves take on Newcastle in what should be a gruelling encounter. Central Coast are the current NSW Country Champion and this will carry a certain of pressure. In fact the lical side has won it over the last two years and they will rely heavily on this experience in the weeks ahead. Second rower Adam Winter and flanker Emile Thomas will have to lead from the front and to show that experience against what appears will be a young and very committed Newcastle side. Central Coast have experience in the backline with players of the calibre of Justin Staben, Aaron Bolte and Adam Carlisle. The full programme is listed below but the home side has its first two rounds at home and this should be a telling advantage. The team plays Newcastle this Saturday, while it then takes on Central West on the 17th March at Bateau Bay. It then has the long trip to Moree for the final round before the Finals series.
Each game will be preceded by the Colts fixture which kicks off at 1.30 pm

The Central Coast Senior 1st XV commenced their NSW Country Championship programme yesterday with an excellent win over Newcastle at Woy Woy Oval. In very pleasant conditions the Central Coast led from the start and was never headed. The opening stages were quite even with both teams having chances to open the scoring. The game was very free flowing with both teams prepared to spread the ball to the outside backs, and this really did give the good crowd a pleasing spectacle. Scoring commenced with a penalty goal to the Coast’s Tim Hill, and then very soon after that an intercept try to winger Brandan Taylor saw Central Coast jump to a 10 points to nil lead midway through the first half. It was soon after that, that a break from within their own half saw the Coast score their second try. A backline move saw five-eight Adam Carlisle make a break before kicking downfield. Winger Taylor raced through to dive on the ball and score his second try wide out. The conversion was unsuccessful. The game was almost put out of Newcastle’s reach just before the break when Central Coast fullback Declan Shepherd took another intercept and raced 50 metres to score under the posts. The conversion by Tim Hill made the score 22 points to 3. Newcastle had kicked a penalty earlier in the half and then kicked a further two leading up to the break to make the halftime score 22 points to 9.
Newcastle had a slight breeze behind them in the second half. However there were to be no points scored by either side for most of the half. Replacement centre Mitch Graham picked up a loose ball in the final 10 minutes to cement victory while Newcastle scored their only try just before the full time whistle. It was a good game of rugby with plenty of action, and being the first representative match for the season the standard was of a most pleasing standard. Central Coast now take on the strong Central West team next Saturday at Bateau Bay.

In the earlier Colts fixture, Newcastle scored a try in the final minutes to defeat the Central Coast Colts team by 18 points to 17 in what was a match that could have gone either way.

Central Coast 32 Brendan Taylor 2, Declan Shepherd,
Mitch Graham tries;Tim Hill 2 penalty goals, 3 conversions
defeated
Newcastle & Hunter 16 1 try, 3 penalty goals, 1 conversion

mmmmmmm, interesting. Could you please explain what you mean when you say "Rugby"? And where is "da ARC"?

[dibo (pron. "DIB-OH")]

you know this is a board for association football, soccer, the roundball game... you might wanna start up your own website, rather than spamming this one.

as i recall from when last you were posting rugby stuff on here, there was little if any interest (you were mostly posting to yourself) and quite a bit of hostility.

there's going to be bugger all interest in the rugby on here, and scarcely if any more *out there*, as this ain't a rugby area. we've got 15,000 people playing association football on the coast, and between the two rugby codes there wouldn't be a fraction of that. you can look froward to crowds that make the new zealand knights look popular.

no ill will, but you're picking the wrong audience here, bud.

yes, yes, very nice. do you want to maybe take it to the rugby forum or somewhere similar?

this is little different to straight out spamming. it'd be different if you were a regular member who posted here about anything other than rugby, but you're not. please stop.

Sorry Dibo, that was my fault
