| Crouch log | | 6:50pm Tuesday 13th May 2008 | | Wednesday evening was perfect for sailing with a breeze and sunshine - enough to tempt some sailors out of their winter garb. The course, which had a windward leg to No 5 and then was a zigzag up to Canewdon and back to No. 5 for the faster boats meant long spinnaker legs and then some close reaching. The competitors were keen at the start with two boats being over the line for the Class 1&2 start and only Quencher went back. There was tight sailing in the Hunter 707s with Baby Beluga leading for most of the race only to be overtaken by Racehorse on the penultimate leg, and beaten by 19 seconds. The same was true of the Squib fleet where Trophoblast had the upper hand until they went aground and Lady Penelope managed to get past them and win the race by a minute with Spoof another minute and behind them. |

However, when the sun came out at the weekend, a whole range of riders made their presence felt across a series of races. Up until this point, chief bragging rights had been held by Neil Chapman who had quietly racked up a series of minor placings in local road races. Little did he realise when he rolled over the line in fourth place in the recent VC Revolution road race at Abberton, his accumulated points scored to date this season put him at the top of the Eastern region rankings, leading Finchley's Vince Devine by one point. Chapman defends his lead in the next counting event, the Lea Valley road race on the Little Baddow circuit on May 11. |
| Tennis round-up | | 6:44pm Tuesday 6th May 2008 | | SOUTHMINSTER TENNIS CLUB
It was a relatively quiet week for Southminster Tennis Club in the Chelmsford and District League, with only one fixture to contest after rain forced the cancellation of the Mens 2nds fixture against Grove. And it was the Mixed I that were looking to continue their successful start to the season, with an away fixture against Basildon I. Building on their 7-1 defeat of Stock, the team once again got off to a formidable start, as Philip Anderson and Michelle Sutcliffe swept through their first match 6-1, 6-2, a promising opener by any standard. Jeff Burditt and Sheila Clarke once again proved a reliable pairing as they, despite fierce, hard-hitting opposition, fought hard to take their first set on a tie-break, which seemed to be enough to break their opponents, as they then cruised through the second set 6-1. With a 4 set lead, the pairs then swapped opponents, hoping to finish Basildon off and seal the match. But Basildon were far from finished, as despite the troublesome start, they fought back, and overcame Anderson and Sutcliffe 1-6, 2-6, though this was not enough to save them, as Burditt and Clarke proved to be in a different class to their opponents as they stormed through winning 6-0, 6-0, to claim the night for Southminster by 6 sets to 2. |
| Good start for Burnham | | 6:41pm Tuesday 6th May 2008 | | There were a string of fine individual performances as Burnham Sports cricket club began their season in fine style. |
