Dunchurch Wins Badby Challenge 2013

Written by in Competition Results, External Competitions and Battles on

This battle between 9 clubs was hosted by Northampton CC and admirably judged by Hazel Manning. Each club entered 8 PDIs, one of which would act as a tie-breaker if required. 

Each image was awarded a mark out of 20, in fact the range was 14-20. After 4 rounds we still hadn’t been awarded a mark as all 4 images were held back for further consideration, after 7 rounds we had amassed two 16’s and another hold-back.

Following the consideration of the held-back images we gained 128 marks and first place. The overall results by club were

128 Dunchurch
120 Northampton CC
115 Duston
113 Badby
111 Abington
110 Daventry
108 Spratton
106 Banbury
105 Northampton NH
