A cracking day at the hill with another great turnout.
Conditions: Wind/ Cyclonic SW/S 5-12mph, some light showers early on and a cross wind that developed later in the day.
The Format: 4 casts on 175/150/125 and one round of DEATH on the 100g making the day quite interesting for the agg scoring.

Results in metres:------------175g/150g/125g/100g//Agg score

1-Marty Harrison-------228.14/224/214.24/223.43= 889.81m

8-Lee Gallagher-------178.70/191.36/195/NCR=565.06
9-Austin Artt----------189.31/175.55/188.68/NCR=553.72
10-Kevin McClean------NCR/163.40/176.12/162.42=501.94
11-Cracko-------------NCR/220.40/226.87/NCR=447.27
