Birmingham League Division 1 – 2 December

20171208_195004There were fantastic individual and team performances at the 2nd men’s XC race at Trentham last Saturday. Shaun Evans had an AWESOME run to finish in 2nd place overall – we’d love to know if any of our RSCAC runners have ever had a higher finish in Division 1! Great runs by Joe Spruce (62nd), Alex Jones (78th), Barry Lloyd (89th), Tom Parkes (98th) and Ashley Powell (128th)  saw the A team finish 9th. The B team was 12th in the B league race.

Midland Women’s XC League – 2 December

Screenshot_20171208-194913Here’s a report by Roy about last weekend’s Women’s XC fixture:
The ladies competed in the 2nd cross country league meeting at Stratford on Avon on what was described by the organisers as a “proper” cross country course. Despite a much changed team due to illness and injury they were still able to come home with an excellent result finishing 11th out of the 24 teams competing, and so keeping us in 11th place overall.
On a day which was forecast to be dry the BBC managed to get it wrong so light rain persisted most of the time making for a slippy course
The 1st runner home for the club was Andrea Deathridge followed by Gemma Sidaway, Rachel Thebridge and Georgia Delaney.
The next league meeting takes place at Cofton Park on the 13th January and the Warks XC championship takes place on the 6th Jan (both also on proper XC courses!)

Birmingham XC League Div 1 – 11 November

20171114_205835

A big thank you to all those who ran on Saturday at Cheltenham. The A team finished 13th out of 16 teams which puts us just above the relegation zone, not bad considering we were missing a number of regular A team counters. Well done to our x/c debutants Barry, Valentin and Ashley who all scored in the A team – something to live up to now lads (except for Valentin who will be leaving the UK this week to return to France – Thank you and all the best for the future, we hope you have some happy memories of RSCAC and English cross country to take home with you).

An even bigger thank you to Bob Owen who acted as our “Official” for the day, saving a penalty of 200 points had we not provided our “finish funnel” official.

RESULTS

The 2nd fixture is on Saturday 2nd December at Park Hall Country Park, Hulme Road, Weston Coyney, Stoke-on-Trent (post code for SAT-NAV ST3 5AX). Please let Steve know if you are planning to compete.

Midlands Women’s XC League – 11 November

20171114_205925Here’s Roy’s report from the 1st women’s XC match at Coventry on Saturday.
An excellent performance by our team finishing in 13th position, with 6 runners turning out, our best for a long time. The team consisted off
  • Gemma Sidaway
  • Georgia Delaney
  • Rachel Thebridge
  • Kirsty Stygall
  • Lydia Sergiew
  • Lucy Stubbs
It was great to see Kirsty, Lydia and Lucy turning out for us for the first time and special thanks must go to Lydia completing the last lap with an extremely painful heal blister and Lucy turning up although recovering from illness.
So thank you all for running and I look forward to seeing you and others on the start line at Stratford on the 2nd December.
