Shortland Local Sporting Champions

• One of the highlights of representing our communities is the opportunity to acknowledge achievement in sporting endeavours, and I was pleased to host a presentation for Shortland’s most recent Local Sporting Champions.
• Congratulations to: Megan Nay, Cameron Howard, Kaitlyn Klein, Abbey Taylor, Kurt Donoghoe, Bronson Romani, Colby Robins, Rosanna Jennings, Jonah Anderson, Joshua Redd, Zoe Peden, Jorgie Hills, Tahlie Park, Fergus Tayler, Michael Walker, Jude Jennings, Sienna Eve, Edan Shorten, Jessica Pickering, Remy Lovett, Jonah Pezet, Benjamin Harding, Chloe Smith, Leia Puxty, Ella Spicer, Cooper Severino, Annalee Grove, Callum Sharman, Lailah Clarke, Koby Hall, Josie Allan and Madison Mueller.
• It was a pleasure meeting these fantastic young ambassadors for their various sports.
• And whilst there were a variety of champions participating in sports such as basketball, athletics and netball, I was pleased to also recognise excellence in the disciplines of Petanque, fencing and trampolining. Bronson Romani recently returned from New Zealand where he represented Australia in the Men's Open Petanque Team. He will be travelling to Canada this week to compete in the Petanque World Championships, and has already represented Australia on three separate occasions, the last being Team Captain and Flag Bearer.
• Colby Robins is another great example of the calibre of sportspeople we have in Shortland. Colby is a member of the Newcastle fencing club where this year he finished as the no.1 under 13 epee fencer in NSW. Considering Colby has only been fencing for three years that’s quite an achievement.
• And Jessica Pickering is a member of the Eastlakes Trampoline sports team
