So very proud of our NKPC Murphy sisters heading off to the UK this weekend to represent club and country on the Junior Tetrathlon Team. There's no need for "Good Luck" all the hard work is done, all your time and dedication has paid off. Enjoy every minute - it starts from when you leave the house to when you return - the ferry, the road trip, the party, the ride, swim, shoot and run. Can't wait to hear all about it.
