Results for Wyken Croft XC, 12-Jan-2013

Twenty-seven Sphinx AC men participated in the third of this season’s Birmingham League XC events, on our home turf at Wyken Croft. The performances on the day were enough to move us clear of the relegation zone, which is a relief. Conditions were rather chilly but the course was dry and largely firm underfoot, with only a few stretches of sloppy mud. Being hosted by Sphinx AC, marshals were plentiful and enthusiastic.
