Results Welsh F3F Open 2014

Unlike the previous two days today didn’t start with either clag or a lack of wind.

There was a little more easterly in the wind from the day before which put us back on the Wrecker. With the greater wind strength everyone was keen to get the course set up and the competition underway.   

We ended up flying another six rounds and they were won as follows:

Round   6 - Martin Newnham 40:61
Round   7 - Peter Gunning 41:12
Round   8 - Daniel Schhneider 40:64
Round   9 - Simon Thornton 40:93
Round 10 - Stefan Bertschi 43:07
Round 11 – Kev Newton 39:08

None of the super fast times we usually associate with a Welsh Open but it did deliver a very close and tight competition which kept every one guessing right up until the end for the eventual outcome.

A big thanks to everyone who helped run the event and make it tick along so well.

So with 11 rounds of very close racing who would be crowned Welsh F3F Champion 2014?

It turned out to be a Swiss pilot who regularly visits the Welsh Slope who come out on top of  a very close  battle  and Stefan Bertschi became the Welsh Open Champion 2014.

Simon Thornton was Runner up just 18 pints behind Stefan.

Only 7 points separated the next three pilots and Tony Livingstone took third place just piping Joel West and Kev Newton.

With Stefan and Joel in the top four and last years Champion Peter Gunning backing them up well, Mickey’s Massive overturned the slender lead that GBU had taken into the final day to win the team competition.

Mark Abbots 37:74 set on day two proved good enough to take the prize for Fastest Time of the Competition.

I suspect that Kev Newton will do a write up with some pictures and even some video coverage and Mike Shellim produce some stunning photographs.

I look forward to seeing you all again soon and the full results are below and all the best
