Thanks very much David; we all thought personally that it was quite close
between ourselves, yourselves and Arklow, but obviously the adjudicator
thought different when he awarded us no less than an eight point margin.
Having aimed to win the competition for the past two years, there was a lot
celebration when we got back home...

Anyway, as I said we all thought it was close, so well done to the other
bands in the section and commiserations for that tie for second place.
Having come in second place for the last two years, I think the only thing
worse than being placed second would be to have to share it.

With any luck!
