Congratulations to Sean Lally winner of the 2008 Sunday League
and
Phil Ormrod winner of the 2008 Tuesday League.

The final event, the 50 Championship, saw the three way tie after the penultimate event whittled down to a two way tie between Brian Cleary and Alan Neenan.Congratulations to both.
I had hoped that the introduction of a handicap league would create more interest in the TT events on the calendar. So, did it?
We had some 90 riders compete in one or more TT's. Five attended every event. The First two events had the maximum entries of around 40 riders. As expected the 50 had the least at 21 save for the Al Fresco Shield 25 where we'd have been better off in canoes!
Eighteen riders qualified for the B.A.R. and F.A.R. competitions, same as 2007.
During the season 52 personal bests were recorded so I guess some of us will be pleased although the TT season will be remembered by all as wet and windy and not a float day in sight. Last year was not a whole lot different so let's hope for better and some really fast days in 2009 when I will be happy to promote the league again.
Phil Ormrod.

Finally, a huge vote of thanks to the stalwart timekeepers , recorders and marshalls who make it possible for the rest of us to get out there to do some serious suffering!
