Mens Team (by Kieren Santry)

The men’s A team finished in 4th place in division 2 which is our highest ever finished.
There were some early season concerns that our B team would get relegated from div 2 but its shows the strengths and depth we now have in the club as we finished in 10th place and comfortably avoided the drop.

Our C team finished the year 7th in Division 3.

The Vets are ever improving with age and ended up 4th in what is a very competitive division 2. Again this was our highest vets position.

Thanks to the club for paying our race entry fees and post race nibbles, big kudos to David Carlin for the use of the bus to get us to Welwyn as this made a huge difference in getting such a strong turnout there. To all those that volunteered especially Stuart and Helen who were outstanding all year.

XC is all about the team and representing your club, really proud of our continuous improvement and more so the increasing number of people now taking part in xc. It’s great to see the camaraderie building in the team and club throughout the xc season.
