My sincere apologies to Jacqui Doig who won the second round of the Millennium Trophy in Division 3 with 45 points. I had said the winner was Liz Fertacz with 39 points but of course she was the winner in Division 1. I have sent a personal apology to Jacqui but wanted to keep things on the straight and narrow on the blog.
