Great Turnout

With 240 finishers, the field was even larger than in race 1. Once again we were led home by Charlie Lines who finished 3 places higher in 15th spot and first M50. Steve Wigglesworth had a determined run but suffered a little after 3 weeks inactivity through illness. There were a few absentees from Race 1 which dashed our hopes of a higher placed finish. With only 1 second claim runner eligible to count in the top 8, Aiden Ball's tally was omitted in favour of Graham Charnock's. We did, however, manage to retain the same 7th league spot. All is not lost yet - 3 races to go.

Two of our guys managed to touch the ground / mud on the way round, but thankfully both Bob Sproston and Paul Zywicki avoided injury.

The overall number were down to 130 finishers, 10% down on Race 1and as with the men, we were missing a number of key personnel resulting in dropping to 7th team spot. Karen Ball had a super run, finishing in 3rd spot and first in her age category. Did her new club vest help? Liane Warren again had a solid run to be our second home, with Gail Wrangles our third finisher, despite having a little stumble us one incline.
Contibuting well to the vets team score, were Diane Widdowson and Janet Davis. Well done to all our ladies who now are really getting into the XC spirit.

Well done to Emily Owen for turning out again in the 1m race. Having completed in both of the first 2 races, she is now in 4th spot in the girls U11's league (and she is only 8!).
