Well done and a big thank you to all of the athletes who represented Warwickshire at the Inter County Cross Country Championships which were held at Prestwold on Saturday 7th March 2020. A huge thank you also to the team managers without whom it would not be possible. Stuart Albut, Cath Muth, Nick Price, Simon Kinson, Brian Higson, Robert Pinton and Eddie Cockayne. And finally thank you also to Becky Freeman, Bob Carey and Bridget Urch for their vital support.

Full Warwickshire results are in the Results pages.

The photo shows the Senior Women who achieved the best Warwickshire team performance of 10th. Leading the team charge was Polly Keen who has had a fine cross country season she was 1^st scorer in 38^th. Next was Hannah Thorne a lady who I believe was making her debut for the senior team and she finished 81^st. Eleanor Fowler has not had an easy winter but showed great determination to finish 100^th. Another debut runner Natalie Bhangal, 113^th must have had a great tussle with her team mate the ever smiling Rachel Gifford, 114^th  who made a big improvement from last year. Closing the scoring was  Katherine Hodgson in 127^th . We were well supported by Marie Ann Mathews in 153^rd and Imogen Peck 160^th. Sadly Megan Rothman had to withdraw having not recovered from illness sufficiently.

Northbrook ladies – miles and smiles.

Time to think about the 2020 road race season and the Warwickshire Road Race League (WRRL) in particular. Entries for Massey Ferguson’s race which is the first race of the series are open already. The ballot for the Two Castles opens on 1st February.
