CompassSport Trophy Final 2009 - Results

Report and results from the Compass Sport Trophy Final on 18th October.

A HUGE thanks to all those who made the epic trip south to Fineshade Woods for the Compass Sport Trophy Final last weekend - the club (i.e. me!) really appreciates the efforts you all made to represent CLYDE in what I believe was only our second ever Compass Sport Final appearance (the first was last year!).

which reveal that we finished in a modest 9th behind winners FVO. However, we can be very pleased with our result as it was about the best we could have hoped for with our incomplete team. Even with Amelia running up on Blue Women and Robert running up on Light Green, the absence of three of our four top M45+s meant that we were always going to be one counter short (i.e. we could only count 12 rather than 13 scores). If one of the missing M45+s had run to form we’d have had another 90+ points, putting us level or just ahead of RR in 6th, and if two of the missing M45+s had run to form then we would have discarded Gemma’s 52 to give us another 130 or so points putting us up with SOS in 4th and only just over 100 points behind FVO - on such narrow margins are titles won and lost!

The full CLYDE breakdown (with scorers marked with a star)
are as follows (in points order):

* Christine Paterson (Green Women) 100 points
* Donald Petrie (Blue Men) 99
* Robert Patterson (Light Green) 96
* Thomas Wilson (Orange) 94
* Ed Nicholas (Brown) 91
* Steve Clelland (Brown) 89
* Patrick Walder (Brown) 88
  Kenny Milton (Brown) 84
* Val Belton (Green Women) 80
* Emma Wilson (Orange) 80
  Steve Wilson (Brown) 78
* Rachel Wilson (Blue Women) 74
  Alastair Dunlop (Brown) 70
* Amelia Petrie (Blue Women) 54
* Gemma Petrie (Light Green) 52

Special thanks to Amelia and Robert for running up a course.

With FVO winning again this year our chances of qualification for next year’s final are improved, and I urge the club (and, in particular, my successor as Club Captain) to make sure that we get out an even stronger team that could challenge for the title next year!

Thanks again to you all.

Stephen
