Last weekend heralded the return of the NSW Relay Champs after an absence of more than 15 years.The format was a bit different to nationals, with each pair running two legs each at Wianamatta Regional Park in western Sydney.
Host club WHO enjoyed five wins across the 12 classes while Garingal was crowned the Relay champions overall on 29 points. WHO and Big Foot were equal second on 14.
