The second round of the Lincolnshire Cross Country League
was held at the Castledyke Equestrian Centre near Boston, a venue that is
notorious amongst local running clubs. On a challenging course that includes
grass tracks, woodland paths, plenty of mud and a few water crossings, members
were treated to a true Cross Country experience.
Unfortunately due to a clash of
dates, many regular team members were racing elsewhere but this encouraged two
members to make their Cross Country debuts for the club where they more than
stepped up to the mark.
In the ladies race it was Jos
Smith finished in a fine 4th place, just missing out on the top three by only
one second. Andrea Ward had a good solid run for 25th place but with no other
ladies racing no points were scored for the team.
In the men's race it was Piers
Pye-Watson who made a fine start to his Cross Country season racing in the
green and black with an excellent 9th place. Peter Bonner in 22nd and Joaquim
Jeronimo 24th completed the scoring for the Men's A team and their tally of 55
points was the 3rd best team score of the round. Other finishers were Chris
Toon 46th, Paul Davis 53rd, Samuel Jepson-Rivers 61st Nev Chamberlain 64th Paul
Jepson 65th and Andrew McAllister 69th.
Attention now turns to Match 3 on
the 18 Nov, in the far more familiar surroundings of Belton House.
