Be Seen @ Nations Of Origin Tournament

July 25, 2024 by Roxane Manley

Parkes PCYC sent 3 teams to Sydney last week to com­pete in the Nations of Origin Tournament. Ollie, Kate and Andy Thomas prepared one of the footy teams.


Parkes PCYC Club Manager Kimberlet Sherrett helped the kids raise over $20,000 to be able to participate. Torin Hando and Jordan McDougall prepared the other team.


This was the first Nations of Origin Tournament that Parkes PCYC have competed in, so it was seen as an historic moment. Sam Clark prepared the gym girls.

Thank you to each of the willing volunteers who partici­pated in the Bogong Moth Workshop.

Be Seen On Race Day With Danielle Mcdonald

First ever senior Hattah prologue done. P1 in women’s, P63 outright. This is one of Danielle’s favourite races of the year.
