On behalf of all MNM club members, a big congratulations goes out to all surfers who competed for the club at the recent Surfcoach Kirra Junior Surf Teams event at D'bah.
The club elected to go with a very young team looking towards a future of being real contenders.  The team went in with no expectation and surfed with enthusiasm against the countries top juniors. The team surfed well above their respective age groups and performed at a level where the more favoured surfers had no choice but to take notice.  
Talk around the comp area on the day was full of praise for our team and the potential they possess.  Good on you fellas, the club is proud of you.  Thanks to McCoy Hassett, Josh Grange, Toby Mossop, Lochie Grange, Baden Telfer and Bennett Bethune.  A big thanks also goes out to Coach Gibbo for organising a very long and full day of competition.

Thanks to all MNM Surfers that committed to surfing the final round of the coast of Origin State final up on the Sunny Coast last Sunday.  A special thanks to all those parents who went the extra mile to get our surfers there! It was a great effort and a great result for the club!

Most notable surfers on the day were our future open champions Toby Mossop and Lochie Grange.  Toby finished 3rd in the U/16 boys final which is great credit to him as he was surfing up an age group.   The club overall finished the series in equal 6th position (great effort considering we struggled to fill heats due to an unusual run of injuries, unavailability and sleep ins!)    Next year we intend to go even better.
