On Saturday 10th Dec at the 2022 Warwickshire Cross Country Championships, hosted at Welkin Farm , a beautiful location near Rugby, the U17 men became the new Warwickshire Cross Country Champions winning the PJ Evans trophy, a competition first held in 1959.

On a cold, partly frozen 6km course, the Under 17’s boys produced a great team and individual performances to end the year. In a joint race with Worcestershire, the team posted 5th, 10th and 15th places overall but finished in 3rd, 8th and 12th places for Warwickshire, with Nick finishing in 3rd place. In the team competition they were clear winners , with the nearest team to RSCAC, Birchfield, finishing 9 points behind.

Well done boys!

On Boxing Day (that’s Monday 26th December, just in case…) the U11s endurance squad will be attempting to work off some of that Christmas dinner, by having a (reasonably gentle) run, probably in Sutton Park. Meet at the clubhouse at 10am. All parents welcome: we won’t be going far…promise…

Just a reminder –  recently £1000 from 100 Club finds went towards paying for the new Throws Cage.

For those training this evening, Thur 28th July.

The track will be open and training will be taking place.

However due to the Commonwealth Games road access will be restricted.  You may not be able to drive down Wyndley Lane and into the car park at the club house.  Apparently half of Wyndley Car park will be open, but be prepared to park elsewhere just in case.  A good alternative is the car park at the visitors centre at Town Gate, then you can walk through the path by Costa at Wyndley Leisure Centre.

Due to extreme heat, all junior sessions are cancelled tomorrow. Steve’s session is also cancelled. We believe this is the first time in the club’s history we have had to cancel due to extreme heat! Stay cool everyone and see you on Thursday.

On Sunday 16 October, RSCAC are hosting a Young Athletes cross country in Walsall Arboretum (joint hosts with Birchfield). Helpers required to set up, marshal and pack away.

The evening before, (Saturday 15 October) is our annual presentation evening at All Saints Church Centre, 64 Belwell Lane, B74 4TR.
