King and queen of bowls

Umina Beach Men's Bowling Club hosted its King and Queen of the Central Coast Bowls Carnival on November 10 to 12 following a week of heavy rain.

After two days of preliminaries, Umina bowlers Pat Neal and Allan Rhodes won, just getting up by three points over Paul and Lyn Skeers from Rosehill.

Third place went to Carol and Ralph Fair from McKenzie Park in Queensland.

This was only the second time an Umina team has won since the contest's inception in 1999.

The tournament attracted bowlers from as far north as Nerang on the Gold Coast and Huskisson in southern NSW.

Consideration is being given to providing a third green for the tournament and increasing the number of teams participating from the present number of 56.
