Award for futsal

A Umina Beach resident was awarded $1000 to participate in the International High Schools Futsal Cup, held in Rhyl, Wales, from April 13.

Brandon Stokes was selected after an exemplary performance at this year's National Championships.

However, Brandon was not able to participate in the championships and did not take up the sponsorship.

The funding was provided by the Central Coast Regional Organisation of Councils (CCROC) and was a joint initiative of Gosford City and Wyong Shire Councils.

The Central Coast Regional Organisation of Council provides sponsorship to residents who have been selected by a national, state or regional body to participate in a recognised sporting or cultural event.

In return for sponsorship, the recipients promote the Central Coast in the local, interstate and international arenas.
