Gary Dighton back on top in Dorset after a seven second win over Greg Parker in the EDCA 10 mile time trial on Sunday
![]() |
Eamonn Deane Report …
The minute that Greg Parker took out of Gary Dighton in the Bournemouth Arrow Good Friday 10 was taken back with interest as Dighton got his first win of the season. Parker has impressed early season, a solid winter producing results, two wins & two second places, the score so far.
Dighton meanwhile has taken a while to get going but some warm miles in Gran Canaria have done the trick. Two club 10 wins midweek and victory in the EDCA 27KM for the second year running, providing the evidence.
Winner in 2011, Bryce Dyer (VC ST Raphael) took third place, 1:33 down on Dighton and has work to do. The non-standard distance and sporting course, south-west of Bere Regis was no doubt the reason for the small, local field. However, those that were keen to race were rewarded with bright sunshine, blue skies and a near windless morning.
