Umina Grade Five bowlers at State finals
Umina Beach Men's Bowling Club Grade Five pennant side travelled to Taree for the State finals.
"Despite failing to reach the finals, the team represented the Central Coast admirably and was unlucky not to record wins in the first two games," said club publicity officer Mr Ian Jarratt.
Umina won two rinks against Dee Why in the first round but lost 60-52 on the main board.
The second round saw Umina lose to Windang 59-43 with two of the Umina sides failing to win their rinks.
The third round saw Umina come up against eventual winners Goodooga.
One of the Umina sides recorded a draw while the other lost by four which saw a final score of 69-43.
Mr Jarratt said it was a "creditable performance against an extremely strong team".
Goodooga went on to defeat St Johns Park in the semi-final by one shot and Soldiers Point 74-44.
"The Goodooga side had previously won the sevens, sixes and now the fives and will no doubt move up to the fours," said Mr Jarratt.
"Not bad for a team that has no official green, with the bowlers coming from out past Lightning Ridge."
