Two paddlers from the Central Coast Dragon Boat Club have secured spots in the NSW North Coast Dragon Boat Team competing in the Australian Dragon Boat Championships in Adelaide 8th April.
Donna Lerway and Joan Francke have been busy training on the Manning River at Taree for the last couple of months in preparation for the Australian Championships.
The team is made up of male and female paddlers from the Central Coast, Newcastle, Taree, Camden Haven, Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Nambucca Heads and Coffs Harbour.
“We compete in the State vs State Championships over 500m and Team Pursuit,” said Donna.
“We have been training hard and combining our Club training with our State Team training travelling up to Taree for a Sunday morning training session.
“We can’t wait to pull on our NSW shirts and head over to Adelaide to represent our state.”
