The weather obliged with a second fine day, enjoyed by well over 100 people at Hank Edwards Reserve. Sports Day was ably MCed by Dominic Hayden and again numerous volunteers sorted out equipment, helped competitors to the starting line, judged winners and handed out prizes, while others staffed the sausage sizzle and drinks stand.
Many thanks to all competitors, supporters and volunteers.
