Clubs such as Lismore, Ballina, Nambucca, Lower Clarence, Glenreagh and Coffs Coast were represented.
Being a small club, Urunga Bellinger Valley had 22 members attend, and all our athletes have been successful in obtaining a place at Regionals in Tamworth on the first weekend of February.
There was a fantastic effort and behaviour from our club members over the weekend. I’m very proud to be part of such an amazing club.
PBs were broken and self-esteem soared.
Our Junior Girls Relay team received Bronze, our Senior Boys Relay gave it their all, it was the first one in quite a number of years and they finished 5th, excellent job.
