Shute Shield: Woodies Keep Warringah at Bay
by Brendan Bradford –
Eastwood closed the gap on second placed Warringah with a 41-24 defeat of the Rats at T.G. Millner on Saturday. The six try to three result leaves the Woodies in third place on 41-points while the Rats remain second on 43. Manly’s big win over Randwick at Coogee Oval sees them extend their lead at the top of the ladder while Uni beat Southern Districts to secure their fourth spot.
After a 20-point loss to Manly last weekend, it was a much more refined performance from the 2013 Minor Premiers.
“It was always going to be a tough block of three games with Uni and Manly and we were a little bit slow out of the blocks today but the first try really gave us a bit of momentum,” said Eastwood coach John Manenti.
