WS 2022-23 Race 2: Cambridge Results

There was another good turnout of 135 competitors for the Cambridge Winter Series race, with the senior doubles  class being, as usual, the largest with 24 boats - it was lovely to see five MC2s amongst these. The Vet MK1s were also out in typical force, but more surprisingly their number (14) was equalled by the Open K1 class.

Class winners were:
Class 9 (Senior K2/MC2) - Sienna Payne & William Stroud (CLM)
Class 8 (K1 Open) - Keith Moule (CLM)
Class 7 (Vet M K1) - Shelly Piran (CAM)
Class 6 (u18 M K1) - Ali Kabeer (WOK)
Class 5 (u16 M K1) -  Daniel O'Halloran (CLM)
Class 4 (16+ K1 & Adv C1) - Rachael Hampton (CLM)
Class 3 (u16 K2) - Eddie Kirtland & Libby Gaulton (BSF)
Class 2 (u16 F K1)  - May Perrin (CLM)
Class 1 (TC2) - Adrian Pyke & Das Varsha (CAM)
Class Blue (u14 M K1) - Matteo Bose (CLM)
Class Red (u14 F K1 & C1) - Rebecca Perrin (CLM)
Class GP - Tim Chamberlin (CLM)
Class Yellow (u12 K1) - Noah Nobbs (NOR)

Ten teams took part. Chelmsford CC were the overall winners at Cambridge (236 points), with Cambridge CC second (122), followed by Norwich CC (95). In the competition for the Dick Grieve Trophy (based on the performance of novice juniors only) Chelmsford CC were again in the lead (43 points) while Bishops Stortford CC and Leighton Buzzard CC tied for second place with 32 points each.

This means that with, two more races to go, four clubs (Cambridge, Stortford, Buzzard, and Norwich) all have exactly the same number of series points. There is also a tie for first place in the Dick Grieve competition between Chelmsford and Stortford (with Leighton Buzzard close behind). Even the Bob Porter Trophy (for the club with most participating u12s across the series) is currently tied between Leighton Buzzard, Bishops Stortford and Chelmsford!
