WS 2021-22 Race 4: L. Buzzard & Series Results

30/1/2022

 
Hats off to Leighton Buzzard Club who managed to quickly rearrange the date of their race to 30 January after the river was frozen on the originally scheduled day. Most clubs were still able to attend, though with slightly smaller teams. A week had made all the difference and the weather was sunny and mild.

This was the last race for this series, so the day was completed by the presentation of the series trophies. As Chelmsford CC had won all four races, they were of course the overall series champions, with Bishops Stortford CC in second place. There was a tie for third between Cambridge CC and Leighton Buzzard CC.
The Dick Grieve Trophy (based on performance of unranked juniors across the series) went to Bishops Stortford. Chelmsford CC was in second place and again Cambridge CC and Leighton Buzzzard CC tied for third.
As this series had consisted of only four races, the trophies were awarded on the basis of the competitors' best three results only. Three is also the minimum number of events (in the same class/crew) that a paddler must have competed in to be eligible for an award. Engraved glasses were presented for 1st, 2nd and 3rd-placed competitors/crews in each class. The series also awards a large number of perpetual trophies - in many case more than one in each class.
This season's trophy winners were:
Sen K2
- Matt Johnson & Leah Faltrick (CLM)
Ladies K2 - Kerstin Queeney & Catherine Ayling (BSF)
u16 K2 - Naomi Fuller & Tara Kathikeyan (CLM)
Sen M K1 - Tim Gannicott Porter (CLM)
Vet M K1 - Doug Herbert (CLM)
u18 M K1 - Adam Baker (LBZ)
u16 M K1 - Ali Kabeer (WOK)
Sen F K1 - Leanne Brown (BAD)
Vet F K1 - Karen Bradley (BSF)
u16 K1 - Sienna Payne (CLM)
u14 M K1  - Cassian Payne (CLM)
u14 F K1 - May Perrin (CLM)
