Four in a Row for Brighouse

Congratulations to the Brighouse & Rastrick Band who were once again crowned Saddleworth Overall Champions for the 4th year in a row. This also completes a hat trick of perfect scorecards, with the band achieving 6 first prizes (the top 6 results being counted towards the overall result) and a 2nd.
 
A spokesperson for the band stated, “The Band was on great form all night, and once again enjoyed travelling the circuit on a relatively dry night.”
