PORT Macquarie Nippers competed in the first of the season’s three Mid North Coast branch carnivals at Lighthouse Beach, finishing a close second to Tacking Point, who were competing on their home beach.
More than 80 of the club’s Nippers attended the all-day event to test their skills and fight it out for glory in the water and on the beach.
On a day when the ocean provided challenging conditions in the swim and board events for all competitors, the club had some outstanding results throughout the carnival – including winning gold for flags in under-9s, under-10s and under-14s, the beach sprint in under-9s, under-10s, under-11s and under-14s, swim events in under-10s, under-11s and under-14s, board events in underunder-10s, under-11s and under-14s plus wins for board relays and iron person events and the all-important all-age relay.
