They both won again on the weekend, with the Black Diamond Plate women's side fighting off Gosford 14-39 in a really physical encounter, while the men put in a strong defensive performance away from home to see off lowly Maitland 19-80 in the Black Diamond Cup.

As a result of the weekend's matches, the Roosterettes retain their spot on top of the table, while the Roosters stay in third position, but just percentage behind second and only four points and percentage off unbeaten Terrigal Avoca.

Despite the victories, both teams acknowledged it wasn't easy going over the weekend due to tough conditions and frustrated opponents.

Roosterettes' centre-half back Sophie Breeze said Gosford were extremely tough at the contests - which she believes is the result of a few former rugby and league players joining for the season - and also very vocal throughout the match.

They put up a strong fight too, with the Singleton side giving up a 17-0 start to see their opponents get within 7 points in the third quarter.

However, class prevailed as star players Tori Cowburn and Kalani Bates combined for the final three goals of the match.

It was the Roosterettes' second win over Gosford for the season, but Breeze believes it was more difficult this time around.

"Gosford had learnt a lot from the last game we played with them which was really good to see, it was back and forth the whole time and everyone on the field had their position to play and we didn't quit," she said.

"We were missing a few key players from last time we played against them so we didn't know what way it was going to go.

"So I think the fact we held our composure after they came back at us... is what made us win it."

She also noted the wind had made things difficult throughout the match, which was something that men's coach and player Jed Ellis-Cluff also spoke about.

"It was pretty hard to get a good kicking game going, I think that's probably why it was so low scoring," he said.

Another reason for the low score is that, according to Ellis-Cluff, the side again failed to put together a consistent four quarters, admitting they faded a little in the second and third terms.

Although he said it was good they were still winning, he knows that will need to improve as finals approach.

Cameron White was a stand out during the Roosters' match with four goals.

The men's reserve side went down 92-37 away from home against Killarney Vale.
