The Country’s Youth Senior crew, sans the little guys – Jezza probably surfing, Julia still stuck on the podium.  Albany steps up with a double Water Safety shift (again!) – cheers to Tom & Devon.
The Brothers Bowles, putting the sword to the floundering horde
Julia, personifying loyalty, moved out of town earlier this year but retained competition rights for Albany.  Had to be helped off stage with the combined weight of all her medals
