Given recent deluges, it was little surprise to find the Wadsworth Trog this
year even damper under foot than is usual; throw in a fierce head wind
on the return slog over Low Brown Knoll and Sheep Stones Edge, and it’s
fair to say our eleven gallant Carshare Leaguers (plus Roy G, recently relegated to a social member after defection to the Kendal vest) had to work hard for their
points today.
Tom B was a close second (and first MV40), having led the
eventual winner off Sheep Stones trig, and takes pole position in this
year’s League. Nicky took the honours for the women, second only to
Helen Fines, with Heather a close third. Your correspondent knew he had
his work cut out to defend the title of first honorary woman, but was
nonetheless pleased to claim the rare scalps of a number of fellow
DP’ers, regardless of the various injuries and afflictions they may have
been sporting. Together with Paul F, Jim P and Tim R, he also had the
pleasure of bagging the team prize for this particular fixture, whilst
Paul was well chuffed to secure his first prize as an MV40 as third
counter in the victorious DP mixed vets team (with Tom and Nicky).
Another good run from Dave Lund also, whilst Carshare finally took
delivery of the Arthur Eaton Retirement Salver – was that a tear I saw
in your eye, Carshare?
Not quite sure what happened to defending champ Greg, or Drs Dave and Jon M – perhaps they’d been on the lash last night?
Next up is the Stan Bradshaw Pendle Round
on Saturday 8th March, which is pre-entry only, so time to get your
entry sent off if you’ve not done so already.
