The Craig family from Newcastle cleaned up at the 2019 O'Shea 2-days on the Central Coast in a closely-fought tussle over 3 runs at the weekend.
Father Stephen and son Alvin (pictued with CC president Robyn Pallas) took out the Long Pairs division, while mum Martina and daughter Rebecca came third in the Short Pairs.
The 55 entries were dominated by family teams: Bennelongers David McGhee and son Clyde winning the Short Pairs, while Garingal couples Toni Bachvarova and Andrew Smith (third in Long Pairs) and Peter Fozo and Aniko Fozo-Kertesz (second in Short Pairs) were also among the awesome cake prize winners.
Big Foot clubmates Andrew Brown and Nicole Mealing were second in the Long Pairs.
The opening event was a Saturday afternoon relay at Kincumber Moountain, the night event was at Mt Penang and the Sunday morning team score event was at Kincumber.
Overall results can be viewed here. Thanks to Central Coast for another great weekend.

Andrew Morris and Claire Williams have been crowned men's and women's champions after another successful Newcastle street summer series.
The best 10 of 17 possible scores counted. Results can be found here.
And, in a category that surely ranks among the greatest - and most inclusive - in any sport, Daniel and Sebastian Orr have taken out the pram walking section.
What a great way to encourage parents of little ones to get out there and take in some exercise!
In the walkers category, Arthur Kingsland comfortably won.
Overall handicap honours went to last season's runner-up Geoff Todkill over series organiser Samantha Howe. The series attracted more than 200 different participants. Thank you to all the setters, organisers and vetters.
Newcastle now move into Park series mode, with a long and a short line course on offer over the next three Wednesdays. Their summer program concludes on Wed Apr 3 with their annual night championships.

SHOO will co-host the first event at Bringelly Public School. The series will run for 5 weeks, finishing at UWS Campbelltown.
The local paper ran a preview piece - you can read it here.
The Macarthur series follows the SOS' successful foray into the Hills District in Terms 2 and 3 last year, co-hosted by WHO. They will team up again to repeat the series this year.
All events are in well bounded areas and minimise or avoid roads. They are ideal events for all ages and experience levels.
