New runners group

Tuesday night is new runners group. It has been brilliant the last few week. Really good to see new runners and some returning too.

We have nearly 100 followers on Twitter - looking forward to breaking that barrier.

Sorry I can't be there this week.

Buckley Triumphant

An excellent day at the the cross country! 

A great turnout by both ladies and men's team in abysmal conditions. Heavy rains in the in the past few weeks meant the course at Oswestry (as usual) was wet., Heavy rain on the day meant that the usually wet dips had become streams, the muddy patches had become small ponds. Then the rain and wind turned to sleet during the afternoon. It was tough, but worth it. Everyone who completed the course today deserved a medal! 

As this was the last race of the season we were compelled to sit in the cafe and drink tea and eat cakes and chat until the results were calculated. We are very good at that bit. Definitely get medals for it!

And the prize; category awards for John, Eddie, Dawn, Jez (x2) and Les (hope I haven't missed any). But the big one was the men's masters winning the team prize - our first team award in the cross-country league. 

Huge thanks to everybody who has turned up at the races throughout the season.

Cross country Saturday

The final race in the NW Cross Country League is at Oswestry on Saturday 8th. This is always an excellent event; its a good venue, with tea, cakes and the presentation afterwards.

Its a good course too, proper cross country with a range of surfaces and a couple of stiles to make it interesting.  Parts of the course tend to be wet and after the recent rains that should be challenging. 

We are meeting at Buckley Sport Centre at 12.15 to car-share

BL at Abergele

Fantastic turnout at Abergele. 21 men and 6 ladies ran with some excellent results. 

Good to see Phil with a good run for his debut in a Buckley vest at the Borders League.

Men scored 539 with our tenth finisher in a creditable 87th place. We are now 4th overall.

The ladies were 5th with a score of 116 putting them in 5th overall

The vets were 2nd on the day and are still in second overall.

Definitely a good day at the races.
