The Yabbies once again brought home the Setts Cup from the Cobar/Nyngan intertown Setts Cup Carnival event on Sunday in Nyngan.
The Cobar Yabbies Senior Men’s Swimming Club won the inaugural carnival in December 2015 and have retained the cup each year since.
The annual carnival is held to honour the late Ian ‘Setts’ Settree who was a former Cobar Yabbies club president and also a member of the Nyngan Splashers club.
The Yabbies dominated three of the four events contested at the Nyngan pool on Sunday with Cobar Yabbies founding member, Bob Clark, qualifying for the finals in all three of the individual events.
From the finals, Clark won the 30 metres handicapped freestyle swim after finishing within 0.25 seconds of his nominated time.
Scott Toomey was second (0.28) and Murray Harland was third (0.31).
Cobar once again filled all the podium spots in the 100m swim with club president, John Carswell first on 0.19, Chris Powell was second (0.28) and Clark was third (0.94).
The Yabbies finished first and second in the 50m event with Jason Toomey first on 0.38 and Paul Swainston was second on 0.56.
Nyngan only managed to win the relay event and record a third place in the 50 metres handicapped event.
The Cobar club finished the day with 17 points to Nyngan’s tally of seven points and the Yabbies returned home with the Setts Cup.
