SALISBURY 8 DOWNTON 2
Shots: SALISBURY 90 DOWNTON 53
AND THEY’RE OFF!
The waiting is finally over, it’s the start of the new turf season. Salisbury and Downton with tack primed, both chomping at the bit anxiously looking for a winning start to their campaign.
HOW IT ROLLED OUT: Salisbury set a strong pace and never looked back, running out comfortable winners.
“IN RUNNING” (well, walking generally)
ANALYSIS:
Romney, Lorna and Roy: After an early setback our triple powered their way through drawing away by 20, no photo needed here.
Barbara, Mick and Alan: Making the running by initially skipping 7 clear the result was never in doubt and coasted home by 17.
Pauline, Howard and Jim: Head to head until with four to go we gained an advantage but Downton rallied to be 9 ahead at the line.
Heather, Amr and Merv: Bolted into a 14 lead by halfway and kept on strongly to outstay our visitors by 9.
Many thanks to Marie and her team from Downton for a lovely afternoon in the sun and we wish them well for the season.
A great team performance showed we are in fine fettle, thanks everyone.
