4BR has been informed that there has been an amendment made to the overall results for the Tameside Whit Friday contests.

It follows enquiries in relation to the outcome if there is a tie in the totals of bands' 'best-six' placings.

When this occurs, the band with the highest combined points total from their 'best-six' contest results takes precedence.

Amendments

This has meant that the overall First Section title is now awarded to Tyldesley Band, with Northop Silver as runner-up.

Both bands gained a total placing total of 48 points. However, Tyldesley accumulated 1144 points from their six qualifying contests. Northop accumulated 1139 points.

In the Second Section, the overall title is now awarded to Marple Band ahead of Skelmersdale Prize. Both bands gained 83 points. However, Marple accumulated 1093 points from their six qualifying contests. Skelmersdale Prize accumulated 1091 points.

In the Third Section, the overall title is now awarded to Rivington & Adlington ahead of Hawk Green. Both bands gained 77 points. However, Rivington & Adlington accumulated 1102 points from their six qualifying contests. Hawk Green accumulated 1096 points.

4BR has amended the results in its news report.
