Striders - Yesterday was wIthout doubt the clubs best Senior x country race since the last great era for the club back in the 80's. It had everything . The agony , the ecstacy and cruel trajedy. Running is one of the hardest sports and yesterday we saw the full canvas spread out against the backdrop of a glorious x country course.
We have to say a massive well done to SBR They still have a hunger which you can only admire.
it was great to see our Senior women line out in such numbers. There is no doubt they are on the rise. They are making a serious move in the right direction.
Let us not forget our juveniles. Yesterday we all saw the massive potential. Lets make sure we nurture it and guide it to the very top.
Again well done to all A great day
