Thank you to everyone for their outstanding performances and contributions.
Many thanks to this week’s lap scorer Danny Sullivan who ensured every number was entered precisely for the steeplechase. We do have to provide lap scorers and Club helpers on many occasions including Round 6 at Glenhuntly. All offers of assistance greatly appreciated.
Let’s keep the momentum going into the next round!
Best Regards, Old Scotch Athletic Club
