ONE of the most pleasing wins of the afternoon for Lithgow Workmens Club was the win by the ‘Reggies’ (first division).

Over the past months, the Wolves have been struggling for numbers after losing several players to the New Era competition.

But in the last week, a couple of players came to training to make up what was a pretty good side.

Spearheaded by inspirational captain coach Kyle Willmott, the Wolves posted a 22-16 win over Cowra and in doing so played some pretty good football.

They worked for each other in defence, ran hard and scored some good tries.

Trailing 10-6 at the break, the Wolves finished all over Cowra.

They had some good performers in a team where all played well.

Outstanding were Willmott who scored two tries, Steve Slaven, Josh Jones, Harry Bender and Harry Knight.

“We have had little time to work on any combinations, but we will only get better in the coming weeks,” Willmott said.

“I was really pleased with their intensity and never say die attitude.

“It was a good win.”

The other try scorers were Joel Walsh and Keegan Craig.

Oz League

The Wolves girls got the day off on the right note with an impressive 16-4 win over the strong Cowra side.

Cowra struck first with a try to Shailee Dolbel, but from then on it was all the Wolves.

They used their speed to good effect with a number of girls having genuine pace.

Players such as Jenna Heath, Chrissy West, Tahlia Nugent and Hannah Healey all have athletics’ backgrounds and are really quick.

Along with those, the other girls are no slouches either and coach Cory Stockton has a side that will really test the opposition with their speed.

Best for the Wolves were Maddy Bender, Mallory Goodman, Hannah Healey and Chrissy West in a side where all played well.

Try scorers were Gemma King, Chrissy West and Maddy Bender with West also kicking two goals.

Under 18

The Wolves went down 34-14 to a very good Cowra side.

The young Wolves stuck with them for a good period of the first half, but as the game wore on, Cowra pulled away.

“The boys tried hard, but they missed too many one-on-one tackles,” coach Ross Harrington said.

“It is something that we are going to have to work on.”

Nathan McAndrew had a good game finishing with two tries while the other try scorer was Nic Miller.

Their best were McAndrew, Riley Allan and Mitch Case.
