North East Harrier League at Farringdon

28th November

Some superb team packing in the U13 boys race saw Tom Goulden and Daniel Pickering race through to 24th and 25th from the fastpack with only three seconds separating them and only one fastpack athlete ahead of them. Brandon Feely and Robert Peverley were also only three seconds apart in 29th and 31st. In a competitive team event, the boys team finished 4th.

Chris Peverley recorded a fine 2nd placing (4th fastest on the day) in the U15 boys race and will move up to the fastpack in the next race. Chris was followed home by Andrew Sill in 25th place and Craig Roberts (from the fastpack) in 29th to help the boys place third team. The U17 men were also third team with Callum Morgan first home for the club in 12th, Sam Blackett in 18th closely followed by David Harris in 19th.

In a field of 360, four of our men battled through from the medium (2:30 min handicap) and fastpacks (5 min handicap). David Old was first home in 71st (34:52 from M), Phil Coulson was 95th (35:35 from M), Stewy Bell in 167th (37:09 from F) and Nigel Brown was 187 (37:51 from M).

Only four female club members competed. In the U13 girls, Anna Fawcett finished 2nd from the fastpack and hence Anna was 2nd fastest on the day. Together with Hannah Martin in 10th and Sarah Murray in 25th, the girls finished 3rd team. Katy Blackett was the sole representative in the U15 girls and set off with a tough handicap in the fastpack. She worked her way through some of the field finishing in 25th.
