GL with this JP.

Juan Pablo

Cheers Oscar.

Iron,we got 11 down last week, the first 4 weeks are really a trial run in a venue that has never done anything like this before. We may look at moving the night for the next 4 week stint in a few weeks time, its really down to what people want. I would expect more runners next week, you should pop down.

Juan Pablo

Reminder that this is on again tonight. 18 runners last week with a lot of side action, should be a good night!

Standings for the top 5 are as follows

# Name Points
1 Gary Coss 20
2 Brendan Dunphy 19
3 Tom Moore 15
4 Dermot Chamberlin 14
5 Michelle Gavigan 13
