Salmon who took 4th and in the B final Louis Foreman took
first place. In the 8yr class Ted Dalleywater finished in 6th
in the A final and in the 9 year class Ethan Vernon took a clear win
with team mate Daniel Blanche taking a fine 2nd in the
class A final. The 10yr class saw Aaron Dalleywater taking another
win to stamp his dominance on the class and in the 11’s Matthew
Harris took 5th overall with James Handleigh taking 2nd
in the 13 year category. In the 14 year category Aston Blanche made
the class A final and crossed the line in 2nd whilst in the 15 year
class Nathan Shipp took 5th ahead of Andrew Brooker who had
