Eliminated in State semi-finals

Umina Beach Public School's boy's touch football team has been eliminated during the semi-finals of the NSW PSSA Knockout Touch Football Competition.

Principal Ms Lyn Davis said the boys had had an amazing run through the competition, having been crowned the Sydney North regional champions to qualify for the final, which saw them make the final eight schools left in the competition.

The boys competed in the finals on October 29 and won their way through to the semi-finals after beating Centaur Public School in the quarter-finals 8 points to 5.

They then faced Bletchington Public School and were knocked out of contention, eight points to four.

"To finish in the top four teams out of 340 entries is outstanding and has not been done by a team from our school in 13 years," said Ms Davis.

"The boys have trained before and after school as well as in the holidays to dedicate themselves to this team."
