Seven
Russell Gray meanwhile has now directed 7 winning performances with 6 different bands to jump to joint 15th place in the all time list.
His victories come with Fodens (2), Ever Ready, Leyland, Whitburn, Desford and Scottish Co-op.
David Roberts meanwhile becomes the latest in a long line of winning conductors by picking up his very first Championship victory with Rothwell in Yorkshire4BR
First since 2000
With his victory at the London & Southern Counties Championship, Jeremy Wise can now boast 6 wins to his name – although this was the first since the year 2000.
He has now picked up wins with John Laing Hendon, Cory, First Brass and Redbridge to lay joint 17th in the list.
David Roberts meanwhile becomes the latest in a long line of winning conductors by picking up his very first Championship victory with Rothwell in Yorkshire.
