Umina wins district bowls

Umina Beach Women's Bowling Club snared the district fours title at Gosford City Bowling Club on February 5.

Seventy-nine teams from across the Central Coast battled it out in humid conditions at Avoca Beach, Everglades, Halekulani, and Mingara clubs for the early stage of the competition.

"Semi-finals at Davistown RSL were contested between P Robson's team (Munmorah United) and Dawn Burrows' side (Umina Beach) while Terrigal battled it out against each other between Gwen Hardwick's team and Maureen Lee's side," said Central Coast District Women's Bowling Association publicity officer Ms Edna Murray.

"Gwen Hardwick and Maureen Lee had to play a nail-biting extra end to determine who went through to the final to meet Dawn Burrow's team.

"On the last bowl, Maureen Lee's team was successful.

"The final between Umina Beach and Terrigal was played out in muggy conditions.

"The game was won by Umina Beach 22 to Terrigal 20 just before the greens went underwater during a very noisy thunderstorm.

"During the presentation the lights went out at the club, but not for the elated Umina Beach team of Sue Clark, Leila Gilmour, Betty Cusack and skip Dawn Burrows."
