•The race was organised by SLCC and was from above Temple Mills Weir to SLCC clubhouse.
•Lorcan Feely of SLCC had the fastest time of the day. 14 of the competitors were from SLCC. This is very good but WWKC had 16 which means that they are ahead in points after the first race in the 2008/9 season. There is an impressive trophy for the club with the most Junior points at the end of the year. We need a few more to take part.
•There were no women paddlers from SLCC who took part in the event.
