A wet and wild weekend greeted competitors at the SLSC Branch Championships at Hat Head on the weekend.
The weather was far from perfect however, those who braved the elements enjoyed themselves immensely.
Wauchope-Bonny Hills SLSC were so close to taking out 2nd place in the Mid North Coast Branch pointscore. Another couple of competitors up at the carnival would’ve made all the difference!
The final tally was; Port Macquarie 1st, Tacking Point 2nd Wauchope-Bonny Hills 3rd (by just ONE point!)
Bonny Hills had some great results on the Saturday from its seniors.
