We had a great turnout to race at Cassiobury Park, Watford on Sunday. We
maintained this season's numbers despite all the opportunities to run
cross county for the club the previous day.
It's been good to attract many runners to try out Sunday League racing
this season. On Sunday, three new men joined our merry band. New
Sunday-Leaguer Hendrik won the men's race, reaching the finish line over a
minute before the second man. New Serpie Richard Mathie came to give his
brand new vest a run, and placed 5th. That's even better than when he ran
as a guest at Cheshunt. We also welcomed, with by now customary cake,
Lawrence Gatens. This was Lawrence's first cross country for several
years, and he scored well, at 27th.
Congratulations to Wendy on leapfrogging from 13th (last race) to third
place on Sunday, and to Ebrima who came third again. We were also pleased
to see Jo Conn, Gary Hymns and Martin Garrett return for their first
Sunday race this season.
Much of the leg-work of course came from our body of regulars, several of
whom have run all three races this season. Our consistency in numbers
enabled our ladies 'B' team to finish third on Sunday, and second in the
league to date. The men's masters team placed third on Sunday.
Keep up the good work!
