Umina loses Ettalong play-off

Ettalong Bowling Club hosted the grade six zone play off between Toukley RSL and Umina Beach Bowling Club on Saturday, June 2.

The first Toukley RSL team went to an early lead with a score of 32-8.

"The final score did not relate to the competitive spirit of both teams and with a little luck this game could have been a lot closer," said Toukley RSL publicity officer Mr Barry Middleton.

"The weather was dismal to say the least, but this did not stop the bowlers.

"There was a good spectator crowd and, despite the wet conditions, they witnessed some good bowling from the teams of both clubs."

The second game ended with a final score of Toukley 20-Umina 18.

"It was during this game that Toukley RSL scored a six on one end and they certainly needed every shot to deter a determined and fast finishing Umina Beach," said Mr Middleton.

The third match saw a final result of Toukley 68-Umina 41 which equated to a 6-0 win over Umina.

"Both club representative teams played with dedication and in a true sportsmanlike manner and should be congratulated on their individual performances," said Toukley RSL manager Mr Gordon Flanagan.
