NINE GO TO THE NATIONALS
Nine of our members, Melissa Dunn, Lynda Simmonds, Greg Bell, Rick Bundy, Dave Crotty, Ian George, Joe Iacono, Willy Paku and Troy Vingerhoedt paddled for NSW state teams which dominated the National Championships held at Kawana Waters on the Sunshine Coast, over the Anzac Day Weekend.
NSW teams took out the overall points tally ahead of Queensland, with first placings in eight of the twelve racing categories. In club vs. club racing, NSW with 14 clubs at the championships, again monopolised the winning positions.
Our paddlers were supported by a strong Central Coast cheer squad, one of whom, Pam Greene, is rumoured to have also performed in a “Super Masters” demonstration race – well done Pam!
Well done to all of our paddlers at the nationals and good luck to Willy, Dave and Ian who are lining up for the World Championships in Prague at the end of August.
