Umina hosts bowls play-offs

Umina Beach Women's Bowling Club hosted D Group Pennant Play-offs from Monday, May 15, to Wednesday, May 17.

"In spite of a wet start to the competition on Monday, Grades three and four played their first two play-offs," said publicity officer Ms Carol Hadley.

"The weather improved on Tuesday and brought a large crowd to watch the keen competition in all four grades.

"The sun shone down on Umina on the final day of the play-offs, for the culmination of a successful event for our club."

Ms Hadley said that the five districts of Central Coast, Hunter River, Lake Macquarie, Upper Hunter and Newcastle had played off on the Peninsula and then had a post-sectional play-off to see who would win the flag for their district.

"The winners of these play-offs, Grades 1 to 4, competed in the D Group Pennant Play-offs held at Umina," Ms Hadley said.

"The winners from here go direct to play for the State Pennant flag, this year being played in Dubbo in July."
