Five teams reach the finals

Fielding seven junior teams in the Gosford-Wyong district competition this season, the Umina Cricket Club has stormed home with five teams through to the finals.

Three of the teams are Minor Premiers: the 16Bs, 13As and 12Bs.

They will play semi-finals this weekend.

Meanwhiie the both the 14Bs and 10As finished in third place in the preliminary rounds, with the 14s to contest their semi this weekend and the 10As losing a nail-biting semi by the narrow margin of three runs.

The 13Bs finished fifth overall in their division and were only marginally out of contention for a semi-final placing.

The future of the Red and Greens Club looks strong with the mighty Under-9s non-competition team winning 19 of their 20 matches this season.

Presentation day for the club is scheduled for May 4.
