The Quilty Memorial Campdraft 2013

                   The QUILTY 2013

In twenty-thirteen we would witness real epic Quilty battle,

As nigh on forty horses tried to tame the Coolup cattle.

As the camp work began in earnest, the sun drifted lower in the sky,

For the twenty second running the competitor’s expectations were high.

The judge was Mister David Wilson sitting there quietly on his horse,

He was ready to give or deduct points depending on how they ran the course.

All outside scores would progress on to the second and final round,

But when it was over a tie; a runoff, before the winner could be crowned.

Saltriver CC, *Carrot and Zac all had two scores with a total of 172,

The riders Leigh McLarty, Heath Stewart and my old Parron mate Drew.

Leigh and Heath had both been Quilty winners at least once before,

Drew had been close in the past and always seemed to be knocking on the door.

When the final run off was over and all the adding up formalities complete,

Drew and *Carrot had the trophy and I assure you that’s no mean bloody feat.
