Local girls in title-winning team

 

Two Peninsula girls are part of a team which recently won the State Country Basketball tournament.

Christie Coombes and Joanna Mann, both of Umina, were part of the victorious Gosford City Rebels under-14 women's side, who played in first division at Maitland over the Queen's Birthday long weekend.

They played a total of seven games, five in their pool, one semi-final against Coffs Harbour and the final against Illawarra, winning every game.

They now go on to play at the nationals in Maitland in October.

This is the first basketball team on the Coast to make it through to nationals.
