BRILLIANT BEACH WARRIORS! Plett’s young lifesavers in training participated in the Nipper Nationals Carnival at Durban’s Addington Beach from April 4-6, competing against 22 clubs from all over SA’s coastline. In fact, the 37 Plett Surf Nippers - just over half the regular team - did such a good job that they scored an amazing overall seventh place, with the U10s coming in third in their age group, U12s eighth, and U14s 13th. Says club secretary Lisa Taylor: ‘We are extremely proud of our kids, who pulled out all the stops to perform to their absolute best. Some of them participated in four events in a row - absolutely exhausting - but they pushed on, finished their events, and got the necessary points for a fantastic finish. Their sportsmanship and attitude to Nippers who beat them was commendable. I saw handshakes, hugs and smiles shared with competitors, instead of the hung heads of many other teams. Well done!’ The commitment of coaches and parents who accompanied the Nippers to KZN was also laudable, as was the support of Plett Surf Club. - Photo: Martin Hurwitz
