| The 2008 Lincolnshire Poacher Trophy Series finished on a high note - a perfect summer's evening and excellent courses set by planner Brian Slater. The choice of a new Assembly area presented a fresh challenge giving the impression of a completely different forest. Pillar Wood provided good runnability for the time of the year - a rarity in this part of Eastern England. Liam Harrington added another maximum on the Long course where there were season's best runs from Tealby's Pete Harris and Winterton's Rod Williams. Mike Smith clinched the Super Vet Trophy at the death - the only unresolved issue prior to Event 11. There was an excellent first win on the Short Course for Caistor Grammar's Sam Offler who is improving all the time. After the event many gathered at the Queen's Head for the Series Trophy presentations. The 2009 Poacher starts on Wednesday 15 April - the fixture list will be out early in the New Year. TROPHY WINNERS: SHORT COURSE CHAMPION - ZAC FIELD; JUNIOR - JAKE FIELD; LADIES - ROSIE FIELD; LONG COURSE CHAMPION - LIAM HARRINGTON; MASTERS - NEIL HARVATT; SUPER VET - MIKE SMITH; ULTRA VET - PAT O'GRADY. |
