Nipper wins in ironman event
Umina Surf Life Saving Club nipper Lachlan Braddish competed at the annual Australia Day Junior Ironman event at North Cronulla beach and won the Under-11 boys race.
According to Lachlan's father Mr Richard Braddish, the surf was challenging and the course was big and for the first time there were heats due to the large number of entrants.
"Lachlan came in well ahead of nearest rival in the final after a good swim leg and board section," said Mr Braddish.
Lachlan also won the Ironman at the recent Manly All Australian carnival and said he was looking forward to the State Titles in March which are to be held at his home beach of Umina.
