The Lismore Workers Masters Games is back this year after being cancelled in 2021 due to the pandemic.
The biennial event started in 1999 and has become a popular fixture on the sporting calendar for mature-aged athletes from across New South Wales and Queensland, according to Mayor, Steve Krieg.
The games will take place over September 22–24 and will feature 12 sports including baseball, cricket, fitness challenge, football, five-a-side, golf, hockey, lawn bowls, netball, OZTAG, softball and pickleball.
Over 1000 competitors are expected to attend.
‘After the cancellation of the 2021 Lismore Masters Games, it is great to see such an iconic Lismore event return to the city,’ he said.
‘The Workers Club has been the major sponsor since the games were first created in 1999,’ he said.
This year’s games will also include social events including a free ticket to the Lismore Cup on Thursday, September 21.
