Club champion 2012

Post by DavidC »

So, who’s it gonna be?

Will Early Bird DF catch the worm? While most of us were still hibernating last January, DF was already plying the highways of Munster and Leinster amassing early season MTB points. His season was tragically, heroically cut short but he may just have done enough!

Or, will it be that tall, sleek powerhouse and all round nice guy Fintan? He has impressed throughout the season and is currently storming the Winter League.

Or will it be the Frank, the Fair-haired Maiden of the West? Newly returned from international duty, Frank the Tank aka The Ballinastraw Bullet has put in a long and very impressive season.

Or what about Frank’s sparring partner, wily old Brer Fox from Clonegal, "the Switzerland of Ireland”. PJ is an experienced campaigner (or cute hoor to use the common parlance) and knows how to maximise his training and racing efforts!

Or could it be the Horse Whisperer? A founder member of the Glaslacken Freeriders, he raced a lot in the early season with DF and was rewarded with third overall in this year’s Leinster League S3 category. Never a fan of spreadsheets, his chances of winning may be somewhat reduced by poor discipline when it comes to submitting results.

Could it be the Don? He’s been quiet enough this season by his standards but he might be in the running. Whatever happens we all need to support him in the coming months as he works through his mid life crisis.(Bike for Sale)

Have I forgotten anyone?

Top 5 predictions below please. And yes, you can predict your own victory! There may even be a prize for whoever who gets it right.

The winner will be announced at our annual end of year party on Saturday 24th November. See members area for details. Be there, or be square! 8-)

Don't be too sure about that. Some very strategic thinkers out there!

If DF & 'The Horse Whisperer' got in all seven races, then my money it's on the MTB side this year, as they both had masterfull early season performances, with DF slightly ahead. If they didn't then Fintan is my man. PJ & Frank deserve a special mention after last weekends escapades (and probably extra points too). They also had an excellent and long seasons all around the Country, but I think Fintan is the man on triathlon side with the points after some serious results on his first season. As for the mid-life crisis guy, yea I'm last again, well of the six mentioned anyway and only the top five predictions were sought. It's not helping me in any way :cry: As someone said to me recently about 40, well if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning....
