Results:

14/02 Gloucester Cross Country League – Cheltenham

As usual no results out yet except Nick Langridge did pick up the silver medal for the series in MV70s and Arthur Renshaw just missed out with 4th in the MV75s.

Nevertheless the women put out full teams with Hannah Hamilton leading in Clair Watt, Ros Rowland and Catherine Dack.

The men were yet again just one short of a full senior team (where is that last member?) but enough of them were vets to make up a Veterans team.  Martyn Green, Sam Baimbridge, George Evans, Richard Jackson and Alex Golding all looking very happy? as they ran round.

Several team members ran their 3rd of the season to claim a fantastic, branded TRC waterproof kitbag.  You will now see more of them around the club and become increasingly jealous.  If you want one you will now have to wait to get your appearances up to 3 next season.

Full results next week, hopefully.
