Lincolnshire League Cross Country - Match 1


Ten members of Grantham Running Club participated in the first race of the 2018 Lincolnshire Cross Country League which kicked off on Sunday 7th October at Ostler’s Plantation in Woodhall Spa.  The sunny, autumnal weather and the flat, dry, woodland course made it a pleasant introduction to the cross country season.
For the men’s team Peter Bonner continued his run of fine form, coming home first GRC in first back in 29th position overall. He was followed by Paul Davis, who is returning to running after a long layoff with injury.  Samuel Jepson-Rivers, making his debut for the club at cross country, was next home, closely followed by Nev Chamberlain.
For the ladies, who had two teams entered, the in-form Caroline Davis was first for Team One, putting in a strong performance to finish 23rd. Sarah High followed with Justyna Gill completing the team. Team Two featured three new club members: Sylv Hull, Kate Marshall and Diana McDonald, all making their debut cross country with GRC. Sylv put in a strong performance to lead the team home, with Kate next, very closely followed by Diana and then cross country regular, Magaretta Murray completing the team.
