Let’s make this a great end of season cross country for the club.

So where are we heading into the final fixture?

Novice Boys – Joe Mead is 6^th and could gain a couple of places.
Novice Girls – Kate Howard is 1^st, Ruby Saunders 3^rd and the team 1^st so looking good.

Under 13 boys – Greg Hayward 8^th, team 8^th
Under 13 girls – Rosie Hamilton James is 4^th, team 2^nd

Under 15 boys – Aidan Noble 1^st, team 7^th
Under 15 girls – Sophie Reed 6^th, team 4^th

Under 17 boys – team 5^th
Under 17 girls – Ellie Leather 1^st, Ella Brimble 3^rd, Georgia Taylor 5^th, Emma Jones 6^th, Emma Taylor 7^th, team 1^st, B team 4^th.

Senior men – Robin Philips 26^th, team 14^th overall, 6^th in Division 1. B team 6^th in division.
Senior women – Catherine Lee 2^nd (8pts behind 1^st place), team 2^ndoverall and 2^nd in division, B team 11^th overall and 2^nd in division, C team 7^th in division

Male Vet 40 – Robin Phillips 8^th overall, team 2^nd. We are 148 points behind 1^st place. 66 after Bridgend, 77 after Cardiff, 74 after Brecon. It would be good to get a very strong vet 40 team out to see how close we can get. If we can lose 74 points in one fixture (our home fixture!) surely we can gain 149 in an away fixture, so if you’re over 40 and male, head over to Aberdare and run your socks off!
Female Vet 35 – team 2^nd

Male Vet 50 – team 8^th
Female Vet 45 – Anneke Bull 7^th, team 3^rd

Male Vet 60 – Jullian Bailey-Gard (Snr) 8^th, team 4^th
Female vet 55 – Eithne Noonan 8^th, team 4^th only 1 point behind 3^rd!

Male Vet 70 – Tony Jeffries 2^nd
Female Vet 65 – Pat Gallagher 4^th.

We have loads to play for at the weekend, so please turn out and give the club your full support.  Turn up that bit earlier and shout the other racers on; there’s nothing like a “Come on Westbury” to give you that extra boost.
