London cabbie Alan Mansbridge has driven away with a bumper fare of £50,000 after taking the latest GUKPT event in Walsall over the weekend.
At one point on the penultimate day Mansbridge was left nursing the short stack but staged a remarkable comeback which culminated in a heads up triumph over Martin Holmes. “I hadn’t booked a hotel – I wasn’t expecting to make it,” admitted the soft-spoken winner, as he was waiting to collect his cash. Mansbridge outlasted a 172-runner field that included the likes of Praz Bansi, Simon Deadman and Danny Toffel.1 Alan Mansbridge £50,000 2 Martin Holmes £34,830 3 Simon Deadman £21,930 4 Danny Toffel £13,330 5 Nick Hicks £10,320 6 Ryan Spittles £8,170 7 Benjamin Jenkins £6,450 8 Adrian Eley £4,730 9 Craig Burgess £3,440Dundee and Brighton will be hosting GUKPT Summer Series events from 11th to 15th May.
