Umina in State bowls finals

The Umina Beach Grade 3 women's bowling team has made it into the State play-offs after being undefeated last month.

Umina Beach came to victory at the Central Coast District Women's Bowling Association post-sectional pennant play-offs on April 16-18 at Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club.

Association secretary Ms Patricia Reynolds said the quality of bowls across all grades was "outstanding".

"All teams are to be congratulated on their bowling skills and sense of good sportsmanship," Ms Reynolds said.

"Many games were cliffhangers with just a shot or two separating high spirits and a sense of disappointment, as team's strived to win a coveted flag."

Bateau Bay Grade 2 and Avoca Beach Grade 4 were also successful on the day and will join Umina Beach in the State play-offs in July.

The teams now have a little breathing space and practice time before re-grouping for the State play-offs, according to Ms Reynolds.

"It is an outstanding achievement, and all the players have done themselves, their club and the Central Coast proud in this year's pennant competition," Ms Reynolds said.

"May they top off their success by bringing home a State Flag."
