Central Mass Championships

MATT STAS, NEIL SIMPSON AND BRIAN STAS

ARE TOP THREE

AUGUST 14, 2016 – EAST BROOKFIELD, MA – Fivet contestants were on hand for this year’s running of the Central Mass Championships. The location was the “Podunk Airfield” in East Brookfield, Massachusetts. The weather was hot and humid with temps topping out in the low nineties.

Round one saw Brian Stas and Neil Simpson grab the early lead both posting two cut 725 point wins. In round two they faced off against each other. The match ended in a one cut apiece draw when each pilot got the others entire streamer on their first cut. Meanwhile Matt Stas climbed into a virtual tie with Brian and Neil posting a three cut win over Paul Kubek. In round three Matt got the out right lead getting past Neil two cuts to one while in another round three match Brian fell well off the pace when he mid-aired early in a match with Paul. In the final round Neil flew Paul to a one cut apiece draw. This really opened the door for Matt as he was left with needing only a few hundred points of airtime to secure the contest win. When the scores were tabulated Matt was first, Neil was second and Brian had just gotten past Chris Sarnowski for third.

Later, everyone ate, drank and enjoyed each other’s company at the post contest cookout at Neil and Beth’s house (same location as the airfield) . The food was prepared and the festivities were hosted by the lovely Beth Brennan. No one went home hungry.
