Footy Open Events 2015

For the third year in a row Peter Shepherd took the Footy Championship crown, he made a bold statement at the start of the year that he was going to try to put his name on all of the Footy Trophies. The year started well with three wins from three taking Fred's Big Trophy, at Guildford, the Mad March Hare at Cotswold retaining the Videlo Globe Trophy at Frensham Pond, this was just as well as unfortunately illness put pay to his attendance at the Footy National Championship where he was unable to compete.
I am not sure what happened to Mike Ewart at that event but ever since he has been of fire and very tough to beat. It is fair to say that results have not been going Peter Shepherds way ever since. That having been said he hang on in there to get on the podium at three of the remaining four events and retains the title.

At this point a mention should go to Trevor Thomas who supported the NovICE series in 2015 and becomes the 2105 NovICE Champion.
I am really looking forward to next year, the competition has been getting tougher and tougher as the years have ticked by and with the qualifying events changing next year to hopefully be more inclusive of the entire Footy fleet (more news shortly) it will become tougher still to win the Champion Skipper trophy.
