Results from SCCL Race #1 – Benyon’s Inclosure
Featured
Well done to all the Striders who braved the weather at the Benyon’s Inclosure XC on Sunday! With a little help from those entrants who were unable to race at the cancelled NF10 we were able to field two full teams. The men’s team came in 2nd ( just a mere 3 places in the fourth scorer behind Basingstoke), the ladies’ team,14th giving us an overall position of 8th, very similar to our 7th position after race #1 last season., so we are off to a good start.
The results may be viewed on the link SCCL Race#1 Results. See also the latest Striders’ League Update.
A Reminder – First Cross Country Race of the Season next Sunday
Featured
A message from your cross country captain:
It’s that time of year again when I start pestering you to come and get muddy again.
So on that note, I’m happy to make you aware of the first race of the season which will take place at 11am on 29th October. This is a new course & venue, please see SCCL Race #1 for full details.
I know this clashes with the HRRL New Forest 10 mile, but it would be great if those that have not entered could support this league & hopefully help to retain the title we won last season.
And don’t forget, except for car parking charges, these are free 🙂.
There are also a couple of changes to the published dates of fixtures, and also confirming the known dates:
Alice Holt will now be on Sunday 26 November 2023
Lord Wandsworth College – 17 December 2023
The Bourne Woods will now be on Sunday 18 February 2024
Holywell Estate – 3 March 2024
As always, if you have any questions just ask.
Thanks
Paul
