Ashfield Classic 2008


Recommended Posts

Not a big fan of individual events , but this wasn't the worst i've ever seen . Couldn't honestly see anyone getting near Rory Schlein as he cruised to a 15 point maximum , but he made a poor gate in the final to hand James Grieves the initiative - and he took full advantage .

Scorers -

Rory Schlein 15 , James Grieves 13 , Shane Parker 12 , James Wright 11 , Carl Stonehewer 9 , Tomas Topinka 9 , Mikael Makovsky 9 , David Howe 8 , Robert Ksiezak 8 , Trent Leverington 7 , Lee Dicken 5 , Peter Juul 5 , Lee Smethills 3 , Mitchell Davey 2 , Adam McKinna 2 , T Sike 1 , J McBain 1

Semi-final - 1st Stonehewer 2nd Parker 3rd Topinka 4th Wright

Final - 1st Grieves 2nd Schlein 3rd Stonehewer 4th Parker

As i said Schlein was head and shoulders above everyone in the qualifying heats , but these days a 15 point maximum doesn't guarentee you victory and James Grieves was a popular winner among the Glasgow faithful . Quite pleased with the debut of Peter Juul who mixed it very well in this company .

Peter Juul was quite good at Berwick last night,looks very professional and might be a shrewd signing for the Tigers.

Do you know if that was down to grasstrack commitments Paul sometimes has on Sundays or something else?

 

Richard Halls non arrival was down to him not making it back in time from a meeting on the continent I believe, got to wonder why he was booked in the first place :unsure:

Perhaps he said he could make it back but then couldn't be a***d to make the effort.

That crossed my mind Tsumani, I would imagine if there was the slightest problem he wouldnt be busting a gut to get back.
