Perfect day, smooth clear waters and some great racing what more can you ask for. Sunday brought all of this and more.
Firstly I would like to thank all volunteers who helped out on the day with out you this race would not be possible as well as sponsors Shop-A-Docket who were out in fine form. Advision and Beam me up photo's who support is so much appreciated.
After young star Monquie Wevers beat all the boys to claim the under 10 race it was going to be a day for the girls with Natalie East winning the girls and a impressive second overall in the 12-13years age group then strong form from Kym Jaenke 1st Female and 7th overall and another name to look out for Danielle De Francesco who is only 14 placing 2nd female and 11th overall
In the Men Stephen O'Brien put up a great fight only to just come short of the new open State Champion Drew Viles who this season has show he is still a serious contender in big races
One of the highlights of the day was veteran competitor Markus Hanley who at 74 years of age still showed he can match it with the rest after the race he was asked what was his next goal he replied to push it one more year to make the elite few who make 75 - 79 year old category

Cannon Hill Win Starfish Cup
Cannon Hill has clinched the 2007 Starfish Cup ahead of Manly West seccond and Birkdale Thrid.
In a day which the lead changed race by race Cannon Hill has showed how pure determination can really get you there. Race reccorder Eldon Lim said "it was so exciting reccording cause each race saw a new leader." A late charge from Birkdale almost placed them in second place with some very promising freestyle swimmers. Cooparoo showed that they will be a team to watch next year winning the 9 and under relays. New to the Starfish family Graceville didn't leave disapointed with Judy Green (who is only 11) breaking the Girls open 400m record with a time of 5min 40.57sec
