Group 4 chairman Ray McCoy said it was clear that people had been initially lackadaisical responding to the tackle comp but “pulled their finger out” when it got scrapped.

McCoy praised Group 4 official Peter Blom for getting the event off the ground.
“He’s been a marvel – absolutely got it together, and we’re set to go,” McCoy said.
