Double delight on Defford water

8:18am Wednesday 14th May 2008

NIALL Campbell and Jane Smee raced to a brace of wins at the Arden club at Defford last Sunday.

The opening race was the second in the Pursuit Series and featured a staggered start that meant final positions were in doubt right until the finish line.

The second race was the fourth in the Strensham Series when the fleet hung together on the way downstream with places changing frequently.

The slightly trickier return leg saw the field split into two different battles with Campbell and Smee pulling away two thirds down the course to create clear air to the finish.

Results - Pursuit Series: 1 Campbell/Smee (Enterprise); 2 Val Jolly (Heron); 3 David Bryden (Heron); 4 David Stephen (Laser); 5 David Yule/Alan Salerman (GP14); 6 Keith Stevens (Comet); 7 Malcolm College (GP14).

Strensham Series: 1 Campbell/Smee; 2 Stevens; 3 Stuart/Caroline Stephen (Enterprise); 4 Stephen; 5 Bryden; 6 Yule; 7 Jolly; 8 College; 9 Salerman.
