Umina players in district final

 

The Umina Junior Cricket Club has contributed significantly to the success of the Gosford Wyong District Junior Cricket Association this season, according to club officials.

Umina had five players in the only team from the district to make the finals of the NSW District Cricket Association Competition.

Chris Brown, Chris Clement, Daniel Friend, Matthew Jones and Evan Smith were part of the under-12 Cawsey Shield side to contest the final on Sunday, February 10, against Hawkesbury.

Umina also provided an unexpected venue for the semi-final triumph.

The match was scheduled for Kariong, but poor weather rendered the ground unfit for play.

After a brief inspection, the umpires agreed to transfer the match to Umina oval number two.

In a thrilling semi final that was reduced to 43 overs a side, the Gosford-Wyong team defeated Camden by 11 runs in the last over.
