This group has affectionately become known as
the “sandflies”
over the years for their very good results on the sand. Recently whilst
maintaining a dominance on the sand we are developing a new culture, that of
the “water babies”. There where glimpses of this at the Caba Carnival and again
at the Salt Carnival (3/11) our team pulled some strong results in the water and I am sure a medal of some
colour is just around the corner. Top Ten Results can viewd on file attached. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate a member of our U12 for his selection in the Inter-Branch Far North Coast team, Finn Whitney. Finn was selected for his consistent results on the sand at the 2012 Branch Carnival at Fingal Finn won the sprints and Flags. At country he made the sprint final finishing 5th and was placed 6th in the flags event at South West Rocks. In 2013 at the Cabarita Carnival he won the Sprints and came second in flags, at Salt he took out both the sprints and flags. Finn now with Claudia Crawford from U13 will attend 2 training camp prior to competing at the NSW Inter-Branch Titles between Dec 12 – 14th. We wish them both the very best of luck.
