The beautiful valley of Pitsford Reservoir and Nothampton SC was the venue for the Gul RS500 inlands last weekend.
It turned out to be a fun weekend of catching up with old friends, rugby (we won't dwell on that), beer, camping, table football and a spot of boat measuring. But no sailing. No wind.
The inland champs were however fiercely contested on the foosball table, with a points group stage which saw Peter and Fiona, and Keith and Tim emerge to compete in a first to 10 goals final. At half time it was Fiona and Peter who had the lead, but a second half switch round putting Keith ' s right arm up front saw him and Tim make a storing comeback to win. Honourable mention to Pete and Karen who secured third in the playoff.
Northampton SC were fantastic hosts: food, facilities and welcome were great. We hope to return, maybe for some sailing next time.
