John O'Callaghan wins

John O'Callaghan won the May handicap, while Chris Desmond moved into the series lead. The details are here.

If the 1st May competition was a matter of icing and no cake, the 11^th May meeting had both in quantity, writes Geoffrey Kitchener. We fielded athletes in every event (even though some of us had not tried out a particular event before) and secured our best score for years, 71 points.This gave us third place in the competition, behind the teams who were in Division 1 last year; and in the series we advanced from last to fourth place.
