Under 16 girls NRL rugby league gala day at Rogers Park Woy Woy was filled with memorable moments despite the challenges with weather (freezing) and a shortened schedule.

Starting the day with a skills session run by the NRL team must have been invigorating for the girls, helping them warm up and focus before their games.

Playing three games and securing a win despite one team forfeiting shows the resilience and skill of our girls team. It’s understandable that we all were disappointed with the early end to the day, but it’s great to see the girls enjoyed playing together and demonstrated teamwork on the field.

The support from Year 11 students from the Sports Coaching class, who assisted with warm-ups, coaching, and organisation, was invaluable. Their involvement highlights the positive impact of mentorship and peer support in sports.

Special recognition goes to Mr. Philpot, the dedicated team coach and college bus driver for the day, whose efforts contributed significantly to the success and smooth operation of the day. His commitment is truly commendable.

Overall, despite the challenges, it was a rewarding day filled with camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the joy of playing a beloved sport. Congratulations to all involved on a successful and memorable gala day!

It’s a very eventful and rewarding week with your Oztag teams!

It’s impressive have six teams participating in the central coast secondary school tournament and the successes of your girls’ teams in particular. Placing 4th, Year 7&8 and 8th Year 9&10 teams in their pools and making it to the quarter finals shows their skill and determination.

It’s also great to share that all the teams played well and gave their best effort, even if the wins didn’t always come through. Events like these are valuable not just for the competition but for the lessons in sportsmanship and teamwork that they provide to the students.

Acknowledging the hard work of your coaches and staff, Mrs Carantinos, Mr Devlin, Mrs Turner, and Mrs Walters, is important too. Their dedication in training the teams and supporting them during the event contributed greatly to your teams’ performance.

And of course, the support of parents is crucial and much appreciated in these endeavours.
Overall, Oztag is a fantastic event filled with achievements and positive experiences for everyone involved.

Congratulations to all the participants, coaches, and supporters on a job well done!

Another incredible day of rugby league for our under 15 boys team!

It’s heartwarming to receive support from our parents, as their encouragement truly has a significant difference.

A special thank you to Alexah K for joining us to assist and support the team alongside Mr. Philpot. Her valuable knowledge and experience were a fantastic asset during the event.

Once again NRL Central Coast organised an exciting event with the Under 13 boys Rugby League Gala Day at Morry Breen Oval! Despite the initial concern about the weather, it was great day that went ahead smoothly, allowing the boys to compete in three games against other local high schools and making the semi-finals.

Over all the boys played well as a team and become stronger as a team with each game. It’s fantastic that Mr. Peterson and Ms. Churat had such a positive experience with the team, and their pride in the boys’ performance shines through.

Best wishes to the Under 15 boys for their upcoming match on the 29th at Morry Breen Oval!
