Fourth cricket premiership

The Umina under-16As have accomplished a remarkable achievement in the final year of their junior cricket careers, according to parent Ms Kerrie Friend.

"Yet another great season was capped off with a comprehensive display in both the semi and grand final matches to give this team its fourth premiership in a row," Ms Friend said.

"Such a feat is a Umina Junior Club record and equals the First Grade record set in the 90s.

"The majority of these boys have been together for six or seven years, with some more recent inclusions.

"Together they have moulded into a team that plays dynamic, exciting cricket and has earned them the well deserved title The Entertainers.

"Their succession of premierships has been from the under-13 age group upwards, and all have been in A Grade, where the standard of play is at its highest."

Ms Friend said their run home to success this year was highlighted by an emphatic semi final victory over Wyong at Adcock Park.

"The match saw Umina smack 276 runs to destroy the Wyong attack," Ms Friend said.

"Umina's response was to dismiss Wyong for 198 runs with five overs to spare.

"This performance was followed by the grand final where, on a much slower, wetter EDSACC ground, Umina set Kincumber 150 runs to win.

"Umina then destroyed the Kincumber bats having them all out for 86 runs, with nine overs remaining.

"The boys will be presented with their Premiership Baggies from the Central Coast Junior Cricket Association on May 15."
