P.B. Surf Life Saving Champs
Both Waikanae and Midway Surf Life Saving Clubs competed in the Poverty Bay championships held at Midway recently. Once again Waikanae proved their superiority by winning their events. Their powerful senior six man R and R team are the northern regional title holders, and representing Poverty Bay they are the New Zealand Provincial Champs. They look to hold a very strong hand for the national championships at New Plymouth next month.
The Waikanae senior team is, from left: Bruce Adams, Barry McLean, Ian Watt, Garry Thompson, Mark Pickett and Jim McLean.
