South Midlands Footy League - September 2012
report by Peter Shepherd
Four stalwarts of the SMFL braved the inscrutable Japanese car enthusiasts to attend this months league meeting, John Meredith met with an untimely end, not at the hands of the Japanese, but due to a faulty Chinese receiver, this left Peter Jackson, Trevor Thomas and myself to battle it out. With all of us sailing our maximum rigs for most of the races, and the wind being from light to non existent blowing quite appropriately from the east, almost every race went down to the wire. Due to the depleted field and the professionalism of the skippers involved at times the races were almost like match racing and very enjoyable to participate in. I was lucky enough to win through on the day the score sheet not really reflecting how close the racing was.
The overall results for this league have been quite dramatically affected with my race win giving me the three points I needed to catch up with second placed Graham Tite.
Peter Jackson would appear to have wrapped up this years league already with a now unassailable lead so congratulations to him.
