Mark Nawaqanitawase flashed over for three tries but it was his side’s defence that had Eastwood coach Ben Batger talking in the wake of the Woodies 47-21 win over Warringah on Saturday.

The Woodies led 47-7 with five minutes left on the clock and although they loosened up a but in those final minutes Batger said it was some of the best footy he had seen all season.

“Yes I think we bounced off the bye fairly well and between the 15th and 65th minute we played some of our best football of the year,” Batger said.
