Although the postponement of WEE6 (Antrim Castle Gardens) last week has reduced the number of hCALF-counting events from 7 to 6 (WEE1 was used to set intial handicaps – no points scored) the final results of both the hCOW (consistency) and Regatta (improvement) tables will be based on the best 4 scores.
