Rugby League draw for Umina

The open grade rugby league game between Umina and Terrigal earlier this month came through to record a solid 22-all draw.

Forwards Joel Sonter, Daniel Hill and Chad Walsh led the way against bigger opposition.

Scorers were Brendan Neal, Daniel Howell, Kody Morgan and Nathan Shanks with one try each with Nathan also adding three goals.

The second grade side compiled another impressive nil score line to the opposition while posting 18 points on the Sharks.

While in control of the scoreboard a few errors in attack saw some additional scoring opportunities go by the wayside throughout the game.

A team effort led by Terry O'Sullivan, Dave Murray and Dean Knott in the forwards ensured victory.

The Bunnies' scorers were Dean Kerr with two, Mick Cavers with one and Dave Murray one while Shane O'Sullivan scored one goal.

First grade compiled a faultless first half performance against competition leaders Terrigal running in five tries with four goals to lead 28-nil at halftime to eventually run out 34-18 winners.

Terrigal ran in three tries to Umina's one in the second half.

With Mitch Finnigan and Todd Maloney leading the way, the Bunnies younger brigade stood tall with James Hickey, Brodie Finnigan, Brett Sonter and Shane Lewis in forwards battle and Ernie McGillicuddy, Jeremy Williams in the backs being prominent in a team effort.

Try scorers were Todd Maloney with three, Ernie MGillicuddy with one, Mitch Finnigan with one and Luke Serevi one with Ben Brooks adding five goals.
