hugh dougherty 2nd kng series photo harvie allison.jpgSurf Sports, October 9: If ever anyone deserved to win the Jacob Lollback Memorial Board race in Yamba yesterday it was his former training partner and mentor Hugh Dougherty.

Dougherty, a famous name in the Yamba Club, won a sprint finish with Cory Hill (Northcliffe), James Stewart (North Burleigh) and Wes Berg (Burleigh Heads Mowbray Park) in the four-kilometre men's open race. Hill later won the Dash For Cash.

Yamba Club stalwart and race organizer Jimmy Dougherty said the day attracted over 150 starters across all age groups.

"We had ideal conditions with just a small wave," said Dougherty.

"In the open men's 4km race we had a classy field of 47 starters and a pack of about 12 paddlers got away from the rest of the field.

"When they headed into the beach for the finish there were four paddlers who caught the same wave and had a sprint to the finish line with Hugh claiming  the $1,000 first prize."

The open women's it was defending champion Kristyl Smith who won the open four-kilometre race from former Yamba local Alyce Bennett (North Burleigh) with former Sawtell, now Burleigh Heads competitor Kayla Russell taking third. Smith claimed the daily-double, also taking out the 200m Dash For Cash.
