Zac & Fidel swam in the Zone (THACCCSA) swimming carnival for GPCC on Tuesday 28th February 2017 at The Forum Pool in Newcastle Uni, and both did really well with PB's and great results.
Fidel got 3rd in his 50m breaststroke event and a PB and qualified for State CSSA.
Zac swam a full program having qualified in the school swimming carnival (see article and all videos here) for 100m free, 50m free, breast, back & fly, 4 x 50m IM, and then anchored the 4 x 50m free relay team, and came 2nd in the freestyle races to a new Zone contender from Belmont called Brodie Roberts, he came 4th to Brodie in the breast, then Zac won the back, fly & IM, so Zac picked up the Age Champion for U11 Zone (by a very narrow margin - Brodie was very gracious in just missing out sharing the Age Champion award) and is off to CSSA State again.
Here are all the races . . .

David Soede 2015-2016 Poker Tourney wins
Written by David Soede
Monday, 06 June 2016
I don't play much NLHE (No Limit Hold'em) Poker tournaments these days, preferring cash PLO (Pot Limit Omaha) at The Star when I get a chance to play poker, but it's nice to play the odd one with friends occasionally. I also like playing any >$100 tourneys on the Central Coast as it attracts the good players, and I always like to beat good players :) I've had a good run, winning 4 tourneys out of 5 entered, each with $2K+ prizes :)
On March 5th 2016 I won a PDU HR (High Roller) tourney for $2,000 (34 entries @ $165)
On December 27th 2015 I won the Johnny Chaloub Memorial at Settlers for $2,460 (40 entries @ $165)
Some time in 2015 I won the Central Coast Premier League for $2,000 (24 entries @ $200) - this was an interesting format as Southern Cross Poker selected some good players and played 4 weeks of "heats" mixing the players up on different tables, where each heat result contributed to an overall chip count for the Final Table (only the top 8 qualified). I won 2 heats and placed well in the others so was chip leader for the final table and won it after a Heads Up battle with David Banning.
