Congratulations to Teyrnon for his first win on the CCCWC website! A comfortable victory with his simple, neat but well-spotted anagram.
 
Margaret continued her consistent run with a second place to follow up her win a couple of months ago – another neat anagram.
 
Steve R finally hits the podium after some strong efforts this year – a Nice clue!
 
JT recaptures a top 5 spot after a two month gap since his last win, and congratulations to Leon who gains his first ever podium finish – the two of them both finding the same anagram.
 
A special mention must also go to Dave Parfitt whose amazing run of 6 podium finishes has sadly come to an end – but it was so close! He was just squeezed out into 7th place – very well done Dave, I am sure that is a record that will take some beating!
