The Club Championships

                         

Congratulations Dave. It’s all over now, with Dave getting a run of results over 60% over the last two weeks and eventually winning the Gold Cup fairly comfortably from Lewis in 2nd and Jan in 3rd. Janne Roos won the Silver Plate and Bengt Malmgren won the Bronze Medal. A total of 14 people scored enough to qualify in the Gold Cup and the top 15 for each competition are below. Complete championship results for 2007 are on the website.
