Mid North Coast branch performs strongly at Country Championships

CAMDEN Haven and Wauchope-Bonny Hills Surf Life Saving clubs have contributed to the Mid North Coast’s strong showing at the weekend’s Country Championships in South West Rocks.

They were among 33 clubs competing in the pinnacle event, from communities spanning the Gold Coast to the Far South Coast.

Cudgen Headland SLSC claimed the championships, ending Warilla Barrack Point’s three-year run.

“Nice to get this one back,” its president Adam Mills said.

“Our seniors were winning everything, it was really satisfying as a club to come here and take it home again.”

The difference between first and second was a commanding 300 points, with Port Macquarie SLSC beating out Yamba SLSC for third.

Finishing in the Top 10 were Woolgoolga (6th), Coffs Harbour (8th) and Sawtell (9th) with Wauchope-Bonny Hills (18th) and Camden Haven (30th).

Sawtell also won both the Junior and Open March Past.
