Sunday's 15th race - the Suicide Six. DAVID WHYMANT and

GERRY SANDERS decide to run at Sneyd, collect his 10 bonus
points for his tenth league race of the year, and Geraldeen doesn't
run, he would pinch the third place spot. In the Ladies League,
GERALDEEN LYNCH and ANITA JONES are confirmed as first &
second, with either SARAH LEWIS, SARAH ARMSTRONG or
RACHEAL MOSS in with a chance of third place depending on one of
them running at Sneyd - so who wants that trophy ? |
