It’s coming down to crunch time! With weeks to go until States, and under 4 weeks till Aussies, every point counts for those in tight contention for the State club of the year – including us.
The weekend of 11th-12th of February was action-packed for our competitors, with not only the State Rescue Championships but also the SunSmart Youth/Open Carnival. Trigg Island SLSC put the burners on during the State Rescue Champs and accrued the team valuable points, which put them in the lead.
To have our team come together, and compete, in such a busy period, was a great show of comradery and pride, demonstrating that within our club it’s one club, one team.
Below are the overall results and points for competitors and the team:
