A 43rd place finish for the Royal Sutton senior men at the National 12 Stage Road Relays in Sutton Park today.  This was a great performance given that we were missing 3 of our first team runners.  Well done in particular to Colin McAuley who ran well on the dreaded 1st leg and Simon Lees who had a great run on his 1st outing after a series of injuries.  Thanks also to Roy for acting as stand in Team Manager – even Fred turned up on time!
