Is it a point for a qualifying win in 50ks?

Yes, it is - it used to go 0-1-4-6 (6 for qualifying), now 0-1-3-5

Good result, considering it sounds like a big schlep for somewhere one tends to think of as just over the channel:


Francesca Stephenson @fran_stephenson · 18h

5:30 am start, two hour drive to port, 2 ferries and made it just in time for sign in at 6pm #phew


And for someone who, as she says, has barely been on clay recently.

At a set and a break up I was getting excited; perhaps she just ran out of steam. Not a bad showing against that opponent, and on clay.

Encouraging.

Hopefully Fran, with in particular a good close season, can make real strides back up the rankings in 2015. A good end to 2014 would go down well too.

I've heard that Fran moved to Northwood a while ago where Katy D and Harriet are based but she doesn't appear on their list of players. Would be a good pair to be training with though.
