The First of the Southern Cup races were run on the Mersey River, Tasmania in Mid April, in conjunction with a Wildwater and Whitewater camp. With the huge amount of rain that fell, the races were held on a flooded Forth River, and then the camp moved on to bigger water, with river runs and practice on the Leven.
The Race Results are listed below.
The next races are:
July 28 TBC Southern Cup 3, 4, Sprint WW and Giant Slalom, Griffiths Park, Victoria
Points from 4 out of the 8 races are added together to find the winner of each category.
