Northern Academy new WGUK champions
Northern Academy are the new Open Class champions of Winter Guard United Kingdom. The guard beat 2011 champions Mayflower in Stoke-on-Trent last Saturday. Both units were neck and neck right up to the end.
Mayflower took the lead in the first contest, but was surpassed by Northern Academy halfway through the season, albeit with a small lead of 0.7 points. The two units didn't compete against each other directly in the two contests that followed.
At the WGUK Prelims, Northern Academy won all captions (96.2). This remained unchanged at Finals, when the guard took the title of champion from Mayflower (94.1). The other classes were won by Southern Knights (92.2 in the A Class and 94.0 in the Junior Class), and Anchormen (91.8, Cadet Class).
