27APR16 That's more like it!

Jake Fifield & Nigel Clifford both 6-1, Spenser Mills best of the day at 12-1 to make his first appearance on the leader board, Michael Brook 7-2, & finally  Lee constable got off the mark with a nice 8-1 winner.  And that was it nothing at Punchestown at all!

6 winners today in the Jumps close season!!  Vince Paige & Justin Sercombe both picked an 11-10 winner, Kevin wood 5-4, Michael Brook moved up to 5th with the best of the day 5-1 winner.  The final pair were Martin Long 3-1 & Matt Raven 9-2 which was enough to move Matt to 7th.

24APR16 quiet one

Just 4 winners today 85-40 for Rod Brown and the best of the day kudos, also Craig Connelly & Matt Raven both 6-4 and Paul Stobbart 8-11 and that was it!

Excel on its way

23APR16 biggest winner so far

We notched up an impressive 11 winners today with some very nice ones among them.  Clearly top of that list was Stan Moore's 16-1 winner to move him to 3rd as Brenda Feeney backed up her comment at Ascot at the end of the last comp that "this was easy" by banging in a 8-1 winner to go top.  Dave Klein (along with Gary Pascoe, Natasha Tizzano & Spenser Mills) picked their horse that won very easily at Wolverhampton earlier tonight at 11-8.

The other 5 winners were Ben Cheetham, Carl Dean & Craig Connelly on the very pleasing 11-10 winner Sprinter, Gerry McCann 9-2 to move to 5th and finally Toby Griffiths 5-1 to make his first appearance on the leader board.

I think a well done us today! and even though Henri Parry Morgan, my nap, fell in the Whitbread I did get 10-1 this morning! that will win next year

22APR16 all change

9 winners on Friday and lots of movement on both leader boards although Dave Klein remains top of the main comp.  Joint best of the day at 6-1 were Colin Warmington & Tom Feeney.  Adrian Hunt got off the mark with a 5-2 winner, Adam Slater 8-11, Ernie Moore 7-2, John Hall & Paul Berg both 11-10, Justin Sercombe took over at the top of the plate and maintained his 100% strike rate with a 5-2 winner and 10 points, & finally Mark Sharman got off the mark with a 4-1 winner.

Friday update will be Saturday mrning

Sorry!

21APR16 another 7

Justin Sercombe & Jade Edgington both selected the same 11-8 winner for 10 points to both make the leader board on the plate.  Four people, Richard Pascoe, Carl Dean, Jake Fifield & Matt Raven all selected the same even money winner.  The other winner and best of the day was Jason McConkey 15-8.

Apologies for the late update out last night and also to Rod Brown for missing his 5-1 winner yesterday

20APR16 Loads of winners

8 winners today and best was the fine 9-1 shot from Brenda Feeney to go 3rd.  Others were Vince Paige 10-11 to go to the top of the plate, Kevin Wood & Dave Barker both off the mark with a 3-1 winner, Mark Kelly & Paul Berg both 9-2 to send Mark 6th, Martin Long DH for 1st at 2-7 and finally Paul Stobbart also 3-1 to move onto the leader board as well.

19APR16 Slow one

Just 4 winners today 2 of the Justin Sercombe & Ian Carpenter 1-9 clearly seeking 5 points for the plate, Jason McConkey moved up the leader board with a 2-1 winner but best of the day was Steve Carter 5-1 to zoom up to 3rd.

18APR16 Solo

Sorry its late but some evening selections and they clashed with the stunning performance by Spurs tonight that I had to watch!

So just one winner to report that was Michael Brook a very nice little 7-1 winner to go 4th

17APR16 6 of the best

Pretty standard stuff today best of the day went to Mark Kelly 9-2 to move onto the leader board, Pete Long 11-4, Jason McConkey 15-8, Jade Edgington 1-2, Vince Paige & Ian Carpenter 1-8 :-).  Not sure I understand selecting a 1-8 shot if you are aiming for the main comp but hey better than mine!

Still a few left to have their first bet but all regulars so looks tactical - excel will be sent later tonight

16APR16 Grand Result

For Cheltenham Town of course who become the first team for 25 years to bounce straight back into the league at the first attempt after they secured the National League Championship today at Whaddon Road 2-0 against Halifax:

Back at the racing Vince Paige launched his "I'm not doing the plate this time" attempt to win the main comp in style with The Scottish National winner at 14-1 to only go 2nd as Dave Klein picked a 9-4 winner to stay out front.  Brenda Feeney put Tom Feeney in his place after his winner yesterday with a 11-2 winner herself to go 6th.  John Hall 9-4, Spenser Mills & Stan Moore both 5-2, and Gerry McCann 3-1 were the other 4 winners.

14APR16 Another slow day

4 winners and not much doubt who secured the best of the day Steve Carter got off the mark with a nice 9-1 winner this evening, others were Tom Feeney 9-2, John Hall 5-4 & Robert Logan who's trip to Newbury was spoiled but at least he got off the mark.

Villamora update Day 1

Round abandoned after 9 holes - too much liquid around!

14APR16 Boys on tour

The unofficial Naps Comp Golf trip starts today in Villamora - 19 players might post the results here if I hear from Vince.

Only 4 winners today best was Ernie Moore 8-1 to zoom to 2nd and top of the plate, the others were Matt Raven 3-1 and Jason McConkey & Tommy Smith both 100-30

13APR16 Another Six

Six winner again but from 28 players today.  Best of the day to go 2nd was Pete Long, closely followed by Annette Berg with her 9-2 winner to go 3rd.  Paul Stobbart & I continued to pick the same winners today at 4-9, the others were Michael Brook 3-1 and Ian Carpenter 13-8.

Pete Long is only 3rd in the plate on count back.

Gathered in another two players during the day today, welcome to Ernie Moore, Stanley's brother and welcome back Mark Kelly.  Shame the Quinn clan, very regular players, are all missing this one, currently on the 59 total including the two yet to pay.

12apr16 Day one doesn't disappoint

As usual a slow start just 18 players out of the 57 we are expecting as the final total.  But not slow for Dave Klein who puts us all on the back foot with an opening day 16-1 winner.  5 other winners Paul Stobbart & me both 5-4 Jimmy McGarrity 15-8, Craig Connelly 5-1 to go 2nd and finally Rod Brown 3rd with his 9-2 winner.

Lets get cracking and reel him straight back in!

Ready - under starters orders

So looks like an increased number over last year at the moment looks like 60 entries.

We welcome a few new first time compers, Carol Carter & Brenda Feeney who both were at Ascot on the final day, Robert Logan, Adrian Hunt, Gerry McCann, & Toby Griffiths.  Also welcome back to a few returners, Craig Connelly, Jade Edgington, John Hall, & Adam Slater.

Good luck everyone especially me!
