WARNADOONE Surf Lifesaving Club’s nippers shone at the recent SA champs which took place at King’s Beach in Port Elizabeth from Monday, 25 March to Wednesday, 27 March.
The local club achieved ninth position in the country.
“We had a very small team of 17 nippers and managed to not just make it into the top 10 but came ninth,” said Catherine Lepront. “Each child gave so much to get those points, not just the winners, everyone gave so much of themselves and supported each other constantly.”
