This comp definitely still to get going just 13 players today on what was admittedly a crap days racing1  Two winners Robert Logan 4-11 & Tom McGarrity 4-7.

I'll send the first excel out later, it does still have some possible players included we will give them another week especially Shelly & Helen who both said they are playing but no cash or communication so it may be that we are just 43 for this one

08apr24 FIRST BIG WINNER

Pete Feeney 16-1 to zoom top from a very slow day only 8 played, one other winner Robert Logan setting out his stall for another pop at the plate especially as the defending champion Stuart Bentham is sitting out Robert's winner was 8-15.  

Still waiting to hear from 9 players 7 below and Audrey & Shelly

07apr24 FIRST DAY & ENTRIES UPDATE

One winner 7-2 for Ben Cheetham but there were only 12 players today.

We have 40 players confirmed and paid + 3 confirmed not paid (Helen Fahey, Shelly Wood, & Gary Dighton).

We also haven't yet heard anything from the following 7 who played last time, Audrey Duffy, Mark Sharman, Dave Sharman, Brendan Bergin, Chris Martin, John Heneghan Dave Klein.

So file not complete so won't send excel until next week.  

ENTRIES UPDATE 04APR24

 36 in and paid with 2 new players, a few look like they are sitting out and 4 said yes but cash not in yet

Think we should be looking at mid 40s as the final total so still should get us to  £1,000 first prize

WE ARE BACK FOR COMP #52 STARTS 07APR24

 We have 27 paid and 4 confirmed to pay so good strong start and plenty of those we haven't heard from are regulars so should be decent turnout
