Scores are close in the WGUK Open Class
After four contests, the Southern Knights are in the lead in the Open Class of Winter Guard United Kingdom. However, the differences in scores are very small in this class.
On Sunday, the Southern Knights were awarded 72.60 points in Colchester, while a week earlier the Kidsgrove Scouts scored 71.50 points in Halifax. A week before that, Oracle earned 71.80 points in Crawley. The three guards seem to be very evenly matched. With its highest score so far (61.80), the fourth participant in the Open Class, Avengers, has still work to do to close the gap with the top three.
This year, Mayflower is the only guard to enter the World Class, scoring 74.80 points in Colchester. Mayflower is also doing well in the A Class. The guard won the A Class with 69.78 points in Colchester, just below the score of Northern Academy a week earlier in Halifax (69.94). Northern Academy, also doing extremely well in the A Class, did not participate in Colchester.
In addition to the Open Class, the Southern Knights also won the Junior Class (75.44) and the Cadet Class (71.33) on Sunday. In the Cadet Class, the Anchormen appear to be their biggest competitor. That guard was not present in Colchester but scored 73.82 points in Halifax last week.
This year, there are 37 participants in the WGUK competition. The next contest in the British winter guard season is the WGI Regional on 21 February in Grantham. Scores and recaps can be found on www.wguk.org.uk.
