The Gosford Kariong Storm open grade team has shown impressive defensive grit in their last two rugby league matches against Ourimbah and Terrigal on July 12 and 19 respectively.

In the local derby against northern neighbours Ourimbah, a strong first half effort couldn’t be repeated in the second stanza, with Ourimbah running out convincing winners. Two tries and a stout defensive effort the following week against Terrigal highlighted an improved effort as Terrigal Sharks edged the Storm 30-10.

In the juniors, Gosford Kariong’s U16s and U13s continue to lead their respective competitions after 12 rounds, with the 16s running up 50 points against the Northern Lakes Warriors and the 13s squeaking past Wyong 28-26. The U14s have hit a purple patch winning six of their last seven, while the U15s were unlucky to go down to defending Premiers Woy Woy 36-22.
