This rounded off the weekend’s action, and
everyone packed up and headed to the
pub to hear the results from Rou and Jim. It
was announced that Olly Bridge had done
enough to win the Pro men’s title, followed
by Oli Sweeney and Sean Murphy. Kevin
Matthey had just done enough to push
Kevin Maguire into second place for the
masters, with Dave Wilde coming third.
It was a great start to the UK championships
and there was a great feeling of mutual
appreciation from everyone involved;
whether it be it organisers, competitors,
volunteers or supporters from the kite
industry. It was an epic weekend and a
hugely promising start for the championship
season, and left everyone looking forward
to more... Roll on the Essex event on the
25th July!

The pro and masters final were very
entertaining; the masters particularly so
with Kev and Dave Wilde going for new
school handle-passes; contrasting against
Kevin Maguire’s repertoire of hooked in
loops, blinds and transitions. It all seemed
very close between the three until Kevin
Matthey hit a kite-loop just before the
buzzer.
