Round 3 of the WLG Central Coast Rugby Union competition on Saturday, April 26, saw Premier 1 wins to Warnervale, Terrigal, the Razorbacks and Lake Macquarie.

Terrigal continued their winning ways with a 37-7 victory over beach rivals Avoca thanks to a clinical and dominant display.

Terrigal’s structure and control around the park proved too much, as they crossed for multiple well-constructed tries to secure a statement win.

The front row controlled proceedings in the earlier passages of the game, allowing Terrigal to expand their game in spades through the latter part of the fixture.

Jayden Woolley’s goal kicking ensured the hosts edged further away in the second half which saw them get home comfortably.

Josh Parish played his 50th game for Avoca Beach and was the sole try scorer for the visitors in the clash.

Lake Macquarie delivered another blistering performance, running in a flurry of tries in a commanding 67-14 win over Gosford/Kariong.

The tries were spread across the park, reflecting their depth and attacking flair.

They continue to look dangerous as the season progresses.

Rameo Bainivalu managed to cross for his first hat-trick of the season.

Gosford showed late promise in the second half, but the damage was done in the first 50 minutes of the match.

In a tight and hard-fought contest, Warnervale held off a spirited Woy Woy side to register their first win of the season with a 24-19 scoreline.

The match was a genuine tussle from start to finish, with momentum swinging both ways, but Warnervale’s grit in the final stages saw them clinch a crucial five-point victory.

After two heavy defeats, the win should lift Warnervale’s spirits, while Woy Woy will look to return to a winning formula when they take on Avoca Beach next week at Woy Woy Oval. 

The Razorbacks extended their unbeaten run with another powerful victory, brushing aside Northlakes/The Bay 46-5 to remain on top of the ladder.

Leading the charge once again was Jake Hubbard, who bagged another hat trick, cementing his place at the top of the Premier 1 try-scoring leaderboard after three rounds.

Northlakes/The Bay have had opportunities in the opening rounds but remain winless.

The team has the skill and creativity to turn their season around quickly.
