The victory of the LRR athletics team underscored the widely held notion that there are more talents in the regions than they are given credit for and sports fans over the weekend repeated calls for national sports associations to expand their talent scouting to the regions.
West Coast came second with 174 points followed by BCC in third place at 129 points. KMC came fourth 127, NBR 44, CRR 44 and URR 26 points.
In football, CRR reached the final losing narrowly to KMC on penalty shoot-outs for the Nayconf football crown. KMC also put a great attempt to win the female trophy in football but were unlucky to be beaten 5-6 on penalties by the WCR girls.
