Hatherleigh can take a great deal of credit home with them incoming 6th. Off the late number 19 draw they produced a well crafted account that had a slightly pecked style in the opening but a lovely controlled sense of style in the waltz, even at a fairly slow tempo. A neat final section rounded things off and if they just could have used a bit more pace in the middle section they may have come a little higher in the prize list.
The top six bands really were a class part, but each one of the 22 on show produced something of note from the test piece, and that must be of great encouragement to the movement down here.

Principal points: Hatherleigh's top man delivers the goods
