Juniors hitting Aberavon hard29th August 2007 Bob Bunney & Bryan Smith have sent in messages and pics galore from the recent Juniors Nationals. You can see them all by clicking here. Bryan, Colin & Nick have the following message for all you Juniors out there: Bob Bunney also sent this into the North Devon Journal on the recent Junior Nationals from Aberavon: With high tide early Saturday morning the first event was the tube rescues but after the first few races in the choppy 3 foot conditions with driving rain and poor visibility the crew of the IRB reported they were unable to see the competitors as well as watch out for a wave that could turn them over so the event was halted until 1pm and then only beach events held during the rest of the day. Of course it poured with rain all day and although sunday was dry a strong NW wind ensured all competitors struggled to keep warm as the sea events were held without a break all day finishing about 6pm with board rescue and ski relays cancelled through lack of time Holders for the past 2 years Woolacombe, Saunton, Mumbles and Welsh champions Rhoose were obviously in close contention after the Saturday although no scores were given out. Woolacombe performed very strongly throughout the Sunday particularly with their large nipper Junior section (in which we only had one boy) but then Rhoose scored wins in numerous ski events and relays with their competitors handling the messy, dumping surf very well. Final points scores of the top ten clubs were:
