Ya-hoo! Here's the final - and closest in the 9-year-history of
the Pub Series-standings. Keiron Tumbleton
started out with the proverbial "Thousand Points of Light" but
had all but one bulb snatched by ferocious Mike
Slinskey of Wappinger Falls, NY. Hey, a 'W' is a 'W' is a
'W' and while many veered off the wagon, Keiron stayed the
course. Congrats.The big winner here is Chris Smith, overall 6th
placer but Numero Uno among Masters as Keiron, Our guy
Bobby Bligh, 2005 Pub champion Jason
Cakouros and 3-time champ Paul Hammond
stay in the Open division.
Senior champ Dave Wessman repeated (despite
bypassing the Common Fence Point exit in Race No. 5) as
did Dave Pember among Veterans, while Bob
Hillman wears silver this year courtesy of croquet
master Jim McLaughlin of Rye, NH.
There were a record breaking 1,340 entrants at Paddy's with
an overflow crowd in Karl's VIP Alley. Mark Your
Calendars - Award night at Doyle's (open to everyone
who
completed at least 5 races) is going to be the first Thursday
evening in December (the 7th). More on that later...
