So it won’t come as a surprise the CSU Bathurst gun was on Friday crowned the first Westfund Ferguson Cup player of the year.

Woolmington beat home a hot field, headed by West Wyalong dynamite Sharnah Stevens, the Redbacks star crossing for an incredible 37 tries, scoring a whopping 281 points and leading her club side to the minor premiership.

Woolmington played fewer games this season than Stevens, but her influence on the students was just as tremendous.

A league tag, touch football and rugby league gun, Woolmington’s speed rocketed CSU Bathurst from finals hopefuls to premiership favourites in next to no time.

Still, she never thought she’d be taking home the mantle of the region’s best female rugby player.

“Definitely not, especially because I’ve got another two sports on top of that, dedication is spread out across them, but this is a big honour for me,” Woolmington said.

“I suppose I’ve always had a bit of rugby, whether it be league or touch or tag, in my system.

“It was an easy process to transition but my team and the club made it easier again.”

Woolmington’s students get a shot at finals rugby on Saturday when CSU Bathurst takes on Mudgee at Molong in an elimination semi-final.

On face value, a second-versus-seventh clash looks one-sided, but Woolmington knows the Wombats girls will be tough.

CSU Bathurst won 29-22 in their last clash.

“They’re a tough side, and finals is a whole different ball game. I reckon it’s going to be close, but hopefully we can get on top. We’ve been coming into some good form,” she added.
