Kambalda to carry winning form into Mandurah event

Kambalda are hopeful that the momentum built across recent domestic meetings holds them in good stead at this weekend’s annual State Junior Volunteer Fire Brigade Championships. The nickel town on Friday headed to Mandurah with a team of more than 30 runners, confident they can replicate their overall success at the recent zone competition. Outright victory on that occasion was enjoyed on their home track, but Kambalda have already proved capable of also winning on the road — as was the case when they claimed both junior and sub-junior honours at last month’s picnic competition. Another incentive for Kambalda this weekend is to go one better than last year, when they were the runners-up to visiting Victorian brigade Melton. Competition this weekend marks the 47th State junior championships and is taking place at Bortolo Park in Greenfields.
