Our club entered 10 teams and 6 individual runners. Putting teams together was a joint effort involving coaches Ken Green, Gary Howard, Warren Williams and Jordan Williams. Special thanks to all of them. Our medal tally was not bad: 1 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze medal.

Allan Lawrence - one of the RBH greatest
ALAN LAWRENCE 1930 – 2017
Alan grew up in Matraville a stone’s throw from Botany Bay and the Bunnerong power station. The young blokes in Alan’s area all swam and fished in the hot water that came from the power station cooling plant. There were no heated pools in those days and our top swimmers also trained in this water during the winter. These young people were naturally fit because of their life style and the simple diet which was the mainstay of the working class people.
