First home game In four years

The Umina Bunnies hosted their first home rugby league game in four years against Wyong Kangaroos at Umina oval recently.

Club official Mr Ian Sonter said that club sponsor, Active Hire Group, lit the oval with seven banks of lights in addition to the council lights.

"There was plenty of light to shine," he said.

"The football played throughout the games was outstanding with plenty of points scored throughout the night.

"Those in attendance saw a great first half of footy by the Bensville First grade team and having a comfortable lead at the break.

"Spectators were also treated to some half time entertainment by the way of a streaker who braved the elements of a cold night."

Mr Sonter said the Bunnies showed their true colours in the second half with a superb display of attacking football to run out convincing winners over the Wyong Kangaroos to the tune of 54 to 16. "

In earlier games, the Umina second grade side maintained its momentum with a 26-12 win over Budgewoi-Buff Point, Mr Sonter said.

"The under-19s once again fell agonizingly two points short in going down 16 to 14 to the so-far-undefeated Wyong team."

In the under-17s, the Umina team scored a dramatic 22 to 20 win to maintain their unbeaten run in 2006."

Todd Maloney has been selected in the Central Coast Division Representative First Grade Team, while three of the club's under-17s in Michael Paterson, Jeremy William and Brett Sonter have also been selected in the under-18s Central Coast Representative team.
