It was Cornishs third straight Most Outstanding Canadian award. Other winners included Brett Jones for Most Oustanding Lineman, Swayze Waters for Most Outstanding Special Teams Player, and Dexter McCoil for Most Outstanding Rookie.

With only about five millimetres of rain now due, clerk of the course Chris Stickels does not expect conditions to alter significantly.He said: We had 1.5mm of rain on Wednesday morning. The forecast doesnt look like weve got much rain to come.We may get between 2-5mm but thatt wont affect that inner track too much.dddddddddddd The outer track at the moment is good, good to soft in places.As we suggested last week, if such conditions prevailed wed switch it back.The weather forecast models have been changing a little bit daily, but there is more confidence in Saturday being a fairly dry day. They may be possible occasional showers.We may get a few showers on Friday, but were talking 1-5mm.If we get the top end of what we are forecast there may be more good to soft, but the ground should be fairly similar to what it is now.
