FIFTY Kingston lifesavers aged 35-74 competed in the 2022 Victorian Masters Championships at Lorne Surf Life Saving Club last weekend, with some masterful performances proving that the club can hold its own among some tough competition.

Mordialloc LSC finished in second place overall for the beach events with 86 points, backing this up in the overall water events placing ninth with 51 points.

A strong contingent of 26 athletes represented Mordialloc Life Saving Club, 20 hailed from Mentone LSC, two from Bonbeach LSC and Aspendale LSC and Chelsea SLSC each had one representative pulling on their club caps to showcase their best rescue-ready skills.

Life Saving Victoria general manager education, sport and club development, Kate Simpson, said encouraging increased opportunities for masters’ competitors had been a key priority this season.

“So, we are delighted to have had 49 Kingston athletes giving their all at this weekend’s championships,” she said.

“Lifesaving is for everyone, of all ages and abilities and sport is a fantastic way for our patrolling members to actively train so they are rescue ready when patrolling our beaches.

“We are very grateful to Lorne SLSC and the local community for hosting us in this great region and we can’t wait to return in two weeks’ time for the Victorian Junior Championships.”

One of the standout’s was Mordialloc SLSC’s Lisa Ferguson, who came first in the 35-39 years categories of female board race, ironwoman, female board rescue, female beach sprint, female beach flags, and 110+ female relay with fellow club members Samantha Barrow and Lisa Harper, and 140+ female beach relay with fellow club members Samantha Barrow, Lisa Harper and Kelly Scurrah.
