With the banding year hitting its halfway point, there have been a few significant changes in the race to be the top money winner for the year.

Preston victory

After their victory at Preston, Black Dyke now top the table, with over £14,000 banked for the year (it will come in handy for overseas trips in 2010).

Hepworth’s fine runner up spot at the English National sees them push Foden’s hard for secopnd place, but the Masters Champions are still looking good, despite only bagging third spot at Preston.
