Report: Randwick outplays Western Sydney in all four grades at Coogee Oval copy

First Grade

Having had the benefit of a bye the boys were well rested and refreshed ready to face Parramatta at Coogee Oval. Despite Parramatta’s position on the table the boys knew they had to be switched on if they were to come away with a win. Randwick started well, with Right Lock Nathan Den Hoedt scoring the first try. A brief lapse in concentration allowed Parramatta to return the compliment. Randwick soon gained the ascendency and went into the half-time break leading Parramatta 22 points to 7.

In the second half, Randwick cemented their dominance, with Hooker Adam Freier scoring the first try of the second half. Coach Hadley Jackson elected to exhaust the entire bench as tactical replacements, facilitating Randwick a further three tries. Praise was also earned by Left Lock Tom Nowlan and both Wingers, Jackson Mohi and Zac Carr, who all put in great performances, which were rewarded with a try by the coaches.

Running out winners 50 points to Parramatta’s 12 points.
