BMD NORTHCLIFFE CLAIMS SIXTH CONSECUTIVE TITLE


BMD Northcliffle Surf Club defended their Australian Champion Club Title on the weekend making it their sixth consecutive title. The Club won 25 gold medals, 18 silver and 12 bronze and finished 127.5 points ahead of closest rival Kurrawa. This is the clubs official biggest winning margin over the past six years, a very impressive effort given that the titles were held in Perth. The Championships will return to Kurrawa on the Gold Coast next year allowing BMD Northcliffe to have an even stronger team.


Some of BMD Northcliffe's stand out performers for the Championships were Shannon Eckstein who snagged 6 gold medals in the Board, Restricted Surf Race, Surf Teams, Board Relay, Board Rescue and Taplin Relay, as well as Pierce Leonard and Zane Holmes took home 5 golds each. Veteran Beachie Simon Harris took out his 7th Open Male Beach Flags Championship and Tate Smith and Nick Crilly took out their 3rd consecutive Double Ski Championship.


BMD Northcliffe concluded the carnival in fine form by claiming both the Male and Female Taplin Relays and the Open Ironman and Open Ironwoman events with Pierce Leonard and Kristyl Smith.
