From dog dashes to cash splashes, the annual sports day fielded competitors of all forms at the Donnelly Playing Fields arena.

Among the best of them was Megan Isbester who took home wins in women’s triathlon and magic mile events.

A firm favourite in the mile, the talented teen led from start to finish for a time of six minutes, 29 seconds.

Another to star in the distance events was Jack Hickey, who showed why he isn’t one to give up easily.

Thinking he had blown his chances in the men’s triathlon after a tyre puncture mid-way through the bike leg, Jack grabbed the keys to his dad’s car and raced home to retrieve a spare wheel.

Back on the bike, he resumed the race and went on to overtake a number of competitors in the run to place sixth overall.

Dad, John, who was also competing in the triathlon knew something was amiss but didn’t find out the full story until after the race.

“I came around the corner (during my race) and saw my car leaving,” he said.

“I thought either someone is injured or someone has just pinched my car.

“(At the transition) I was getting ready for my run and I saw him getting on the bike.

“I said to him ‘are you alright’ and he said ‘I’ll see you in half an hour’.”

In other events, Jack placed third in the men’s splash for cash and earlier in the day, ran home for a commanding win in the magic mile. 

In the midst of the midday sun, the Devine duo of Peta and Khobi found the going tough in the touch shoot-out when they come up against the Lisa Steele and Leah Schofield pairing.

“They had some pretty snazzy skills,” one Devine quipped.

“It was hard out there.”

The coveted doggy dash title was split into three categories.

Max Stewart was the deserving working dog title winner, Snip the best of the town mutts, while Max Hopkins muscled into first place among the bigger breeds.

For their water-bowl lapping efforts, all pooches were presented with a tin of Pal to chow down on later that evening.
