Well, the 2009 SHERCO AUSTRALIAN WOMEN'S CUP has been run & won!
With perfect weather, a fantastic venue, excellent sections, wonderful support from the sponsors & a real community spirit evident throughout the event, I feel the stand alone event was probably the best one yet. A huge thanks to everyone involved.
Congratulations to all the female competitors. Another noticable occurence was the fact that the skill levels of all the women are increasing every year with the evidence of many not only taking the Women's trophies but also taking places in the Open classes as well. Notably, C grade where placings were an all female event.
Kirsty McKinnon took out the Expert Women's Class in fine style & a just reward for her passsion & commitment to the sport.
All the results are below. A full report will be posted later. If anyone has good photos could they please email them to me.
