| A NSW Masters Championships to remember |
Two days of amazing racing and memories to last a lifetime: the NSW Masters Championships presented by Bentleys are done and dusted for 2025!
Nearly 600 athletes raced down the SIRC course in the most-entered NSW Masters since COVID, and they experienced the full spectrum of weather that Penrith has to offer! In spite of heavy fog and biting cold, the competition was fierce throughout the weekend.
North Shore took top spot on the medal table, edging out Mosman and flipping the script from 2024. Leichhardt, St George and Manning River rounded out the top five. Impressively, 27 clubs came home with a share of at least one gold medal.
Congratulations to all competing athletes and coaches on their achievements, and good luck to those who’ll be joining us for Nationals in 10 short days…
