11 May 2016 2:01PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
Y on an 11yrder. Shanks it to the right, ah well. It is getting a bit windy.

11 May 2016 2:05PM (Tournament); 2 Readers
Y positions, looks 1.5yrds out but quit a bit to the west, should be runnable
11 May 2016 2:06PM (Tournament); 2 Readers

11 May 2016 2:06PM (Tournament); 2 Readers

11 May 2016 2:07PM (Tournament); 2 Readers

Greg lines up the jump, around 2yrds ish. Great height but misses the hoop
11 May 2016 2:10PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
K tries to release U...centres it so U is 1.5yrds from K and K is a foot to the east 4.
11 May 2016 2:11PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

11 May 2016 2:12PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

Unfortunately she misses. Greg lines up the jump for Red
11 May 2016 2:14PM (Tournament); 4 Readers
Doesn't look phased by the wind at all and jumps it beautifully. K still in the jaws will make it hard to position...
11 May 2016 2:14PM (Tournament); 4 Readers
K shoots through coming 4.5yrds south of R, I probs would have gone the other way through to give myself a shorter clearance and prevent R from smacking me
11 May 2016 2:15PM (Tournament); 4 Readers
Y over hits though and lands level with 5, 1.5ft east of the hoop
11 May 2016 2:15PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

11 May 2016 2:16PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
Y clears U to the boundary
11 May 2016 2:16PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
U lines up Red. Only needs to hit it a little to wire it from K. Unfortunately it misses and R runs the hoop easily.. not as angled as I thought!
11 May 2016 2:17PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
R lands 1 ft south of 6 but appears to be too far to the east to have a good hoop shot...i've been wrong before though
11 May 2016 2:18PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

11 May 2016 2:18PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

11 May 2016 2:21PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

11 May 2016 2:22PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

11 May 2016 2:22PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

11 May 2016 2:24PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

11 May 2016 2:25PM (Tournament); 3 Readers

11 May 2016 2:30PM (Tournament); 2 Readers
R smacks K, great shot. Lands a 6 yards north of 6. K lines up for Y. Misses to the right and Y runs the hoop

11 May 2016 2:32PM (Tournament); 2 Readers
Scuffs the lawn in the process but it doesn't look serious. They stare at the spot for a while then move on.

R is lining up, looks like he's going to gamble with K and take out U
11 May 2016 2:34PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
Goes for a gentle clearance, looks like it will clip it on the left by the lawn turns off
11 May 2016 2:34PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
K lines it up, it has 2 hoop runners so why not. One again, that left leg! K ends up about 5yrds South west of the Western penalty point
