South Midlands Footy League - October 2012
report by Peter Shepherd

Due to the excessive amount of bind weed in the lake at Wicksteed Park this months South Midlands Footy event was held elsewhere at the Abington Park Venue. The wind was light for the early races, freshening slightly as the day progressed, this made little difference to Peter Jackson who underlined his dominance of this years league by winning 11 of the 16 races.
Peter Shepherd started slowly probably a hangover from the Cadenhead Trophy but eventually getting into his stride picking up a couple of victories when PJ slipped up, his main objective for the day being to stay ahead of Graham Tite.
Paul Risdale was always there or there abouts and kept the other club members honest throughout the day.
Graham Tite started the day with a victory in the first race and for a while it looked as if he might manage the keep his second place in the overall table, as it turned out he was just pipped to third by Paul Risdale.
Most notable win of the day went to John Meredith who had a couple of second places earlier but in the final race of the day simply sailed away from the rest of the fleet to an easy victory.
Sid Sims brought along a lightweight 1299 (400g) as well as his usual yacht, despite trying numerous sails and set ups he just didn't seem to be able to get things to hook up this time.


Thanks go to the skippers who traveled from Birmingham Model Yacht Club for making the day such an enjoyable one with close racing and pleasant company we all had such an enjoyable day that the result was almost immaterial (of course it wasn't!). However it may be necessary to make sledging an offence in the 2013 Midland Footy League.
