Thirroul Surf Life Saving Club’s Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) team has established a narrow lead in the second round of the 2009 NSW IRB Premiership, held at Elizabeth Beach on May 16
Thirroul’s performance in second round earned them a total of ten points, which, combined with the nine points they won in round one has put them in first place with a total of 19 points
But Thirroul will have to put in an equally strong performance in future rounds to maintain their lead as second and third place teams Caves Beach and South Maroubra are not far behind.
Caves Beach is currently in second place with a total of 17.5 points, while South Maroubra is in third place, with 16 points.
2008 Premiership champions, Kiarna Downs are in fourth place with 15.5 points.
The third round of the Premiership is held on May 30th at Elouera Beach
