Urunga Boaties travelled to Minnie Waters for the North Coast Boat Series, the Men’s Masters Crew had a great hit-out and finished 3rd overall. The ladies crew also had a great hit-out and look forward to the next event at Scotts Head. Our Masters touring team, represented by the Suttons, headed to Wamberal for the Nutty Masters. Typical wind and rainy conditions didn’t dampen the results with Mark proving his old local knowledge was the key to getting through the tricky and unforgiving shore dump. He won his single ski event as well as teaming up with North Entrance to win the handicapped ski relay which saw them leave the beach 67 mins after the first starters. Other good top 3 results saw Urunga finish 12th out of 16 clubs, not bad for two competitors. THIS SATURDAY 8th Nov, is the URUNGA MASTERS CARNIVAL.

Urunga NIPPERS Touring Team had their first hit out of the season with a flat water carnival at Coffs Jetty. It was one of our strongest showings in years with approximately 25 nippers. It was the first carnival for many of the children, but that didn't stop them from giving it all they had and many brought home their first carnival ribbons. Once again our young nippers showed they can mix with with the larger clubs and more than hold their own with their skills, which showed in the many placing's our kids acquired. The conditions were a bit overcast with a small swell to contest, but a very good day for the nippers to become accustomed to a carnival environment. We would like to say congratulations to all the nippers who competed you did your club proud with your efforts and sportsmanship. Thank you to all the Urunga Officials, Water Safety and Team Managers who came to help out and support our kids on the day.
