More great news as the senior women win Division 2 at their final match and also clinch promotion. We had three women available for the match and they all ran superbly. Katie Ingle finished 6th, Megan McBrien was 15th and Larna Partridge was 29th. Katie also won the prize for 2nd Junior Female across the season.

The results are available on the Midland County AA website.

A great team effort by the senior men’s XC team at wet and windy Coundon Park saw them clinch promotion back to the 1st Division. There was also success for the B team, who won the B team league, and Ollie Harradence who won the trophy for 3rd best individual.

On the day the standout performances came from Steve Marklew, Chris Taylor and Tom Chew. Steve had his best run for at least 3 years and was our third counter home. Chris and Tom have both improved throughout the year and were our 5th and 6th counters.

A big thankyou to Phil Pollock and Megan Evans who braved the cold to help us with Team Management and officiating duties and to our little band of supporters. Your support is much appreciated.

The results are available on the Birmingham XC website. Great effort everyone!
