TERRIGAL coach Chester Scott believes his side has learnt a vital lesson from their major semi-final loss to Ourimbah as they prepare to go back to back in Saturday’s Central Coast grand final.

The Trojans lost 30-25 to Ourimbah a fortnight ago – their only loss of 2017 – and come into the premiership decider at Woy Woy Oval in a far better mindset.

“Look they (Ourimbah) played well and took their opportunities. They are a good side,” Scott said.

“If anything we weren’t where we needed to be mentally and that has shown the boys what you need to do to get a job like winning a grand final done.”

Terrigal showed some of that necessary mindset in the preliminary final when disposed a pretty handy Kariong side 67-5.

Executing skills under pressure though will be the winning and the losing of this grand final, Scott said.

“Over the past two years we’ve worked very hard on our skills,” Scott said.

“We can catch and pass right across the field and we’re lucky that we have some good depth and that very important at this time of the year.”

Scott wasn’t keen to single out any of his grand final team but the fact that he has Sekope Maea, the Central Coast player of the year, and Ethan McGuinnes, the rep player of the year, says oodles about his playing group.

Maea is his lively No.9 while McGuinness dictates things in the front row in the No. 2 jersey.

Terrigal and Ourimbah will also battle it out of the reserve grade title while Ourimbah will also features in the third grade decider.

Officials are expecting a crowd up to 5000.
