Mark Westaby:
Show his class all day, will be pushing hard to challenge the Champion at the finals:

Gary Gardner:
Push Mark very hard today, he always injuryed his finger after event tree and still carried on after calls for him to vist hospital. Watch this guy go places.

David McAneney:
David had a poor first event than just got better, prove that qualifying for last years UKSC Englands was no fluke. He should be invited to compete if someone is listening.

Mark Lawson:
Came good after a poor start highly placed in the last three events to make 4th place.

I could go on but all the lads did their best, 16 athletes competed on the day, 3 athletes call to say where sick and 1 a no show. All in all a great day once again run by a great crew. Thank you too all my wife & kids, crew and athletes. One last thing a big thank you to the local school for letting us use their ground.
