Six local champions have been recognised for their sporting achievements with Federal Government funding from the Local Sporting Champions Program.
Federal Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid hosted a special afternoon tea to acknowledge these local sportspeople.
They are: Kaine Hieber, U21 World Championship karate; Tatem Hieber, Junior, Cadets and U21 Championship Karate; Patrick Matters, World Floorball Championships U19 qualifications.
Luke Shaw, Joshua Roberts and Luke Roberts were all recognised for their achievements in School Sport Australia National Cross Country Championships.
Reid said it was a pleasure to welcome these local sporting champions to his office recently to share a special afternoon tea.
“I was able to recognise each sportsperson and ask questions of them about their sport and how they plan to use the support they have received from the Federal Government,” he said.
“It was fantastic to hear about all their sporting endeavours and what they are working towards in the future.
“Again, congratulations to each of the Local Sporting Champions Program recipients.”
