Results for the Junior Cross-Country, Warley Woods (2 of 5), 20-Nov-2016
Thanks to Steve for the following report:
At the same time as the Combe 8 was taking place Sue Gough and Steve Court, junior team coaches were at the 2nd junior x country meeting at Warley Woods in Birmingham. A slightly disappointing turnout out of 7 juniors made the trip and ran their hardest on an undulating but scenic course. Very well done to all runners and supporters. Next meeting at Perry Park 11th December

Elsewhere, the O’Briens were first-timers at Gunnersbury, and Louis Carver was a first-timer at Daventry and set a new 5k PB and achieved almost 80% age-grading!

At great turnout for the men in blue & gold, with 13 running, with xc league debuts for Michael and Kev ,
With Michael having a great run finishing in 32nd place and the first Sphinx home followed by Allen only a few places behind, strong runs also for Dave and Colin ,

The next league race is Plock court , Gloucester on Saturday 3rd December, yes its abit of a drive , but we will have a good social day out anyway, and sample some of another county recovery beers
