A distinctly Autumnal evening greeted the runners gathered for the sixth and final Club Handicap on 6 September and, despite the fading light that accompanied the backmarkers, all 80 members and guests made it safely to the finish.
Craig Murray was the first Northbrook finisher, taking maximum points in the men’s race, and recently-joinedmember Jackie Dooley was first Northbrook woman to cross the line.
Having run all six races it was the best five scores that counted for the three leaders of the men’s table, with Andrew Ralph at the top of the men’s finishing table and PaulMcGurk in second place separating the leader from his father JohnRalph in third.
Emma Boyle made sure of her place at the top of the women’s table, with Rachel Clancy in second place and Jo Arden pushed down into third, with just 5 points separating the top three.
