The Lismore Masters Games included over 1,000 competitors across 11 sports and played out over the weekend of September 22-24.
The Games are considered one of the most entertaining multi-sports event in regional Australia and bring much needed economic activity to the area.
Sports on offer included: baseball, cricket, fitness challenge, football, five-a-side, golf, hockey, lawn bowls, netball, oztag, and softball.
The biennial event was started in 1999 and has become a popular fixture on the sporting calendar for mature-aged athletes from across New South Wales and Queensland.
The camaraderie, fun, and competitive aspects of these events attract participants from different walks of life. Typically, competitors are women aged 30 and above and men aged 35 and above, though this age range may vary.
Lismore City Council has been the driving force behind the 12 Masters Games held so far.
