League team wins

Mark Cribb of Brisbane Water Secondary College and the open rugby league team had a win over Granville Boys High School on Monday, July 29.

Umina High School's clash with the same boys several years ago saw Umina win the CHS Buchan Shield Rugby title.

Some members of that team took the field for the college team on Friday, July 26.

Sheer size gave the Granville team great confidence early in the match.

They were first to score but Mark and the boys had planned the match carefully and their skills and clever game plan soon brought results with a handy lead by half time.

Close to the line, the big Granville boys still proved hard to bring down and they scored a couple more tries but the Brisbane Water boys continued to outscore them and ran out winners by 44-20.

This places the team in the last 16 in the State with their next game likely to be against Ballina, away from home.

As practice for this game, the team lines up against Tuggerah Lakes College in touch football, also hoping to reach the last 16 in the State.

The Woy Woy campus was also the venue for the under-15 rugby team's match against Morriset.

Already Central Coast champions following a 19-5 victory over Kincumber High School, the boys came away winners 34-12.

This makes them Eastern Province champions and State quarter finalists.

Next match is against a Sydney team yet to be announced.
