Chiltern League Match 4 – Campbell Park

CHILTERN LEAGUE MATCH 4 – 14^TH JANUARY

A very wet and muddy course awaited our runners in Milton Keynes on Saturday for the 4^th round of the Chiltern League season. Every athlete who completed their respective course deserved a pat on the back and a well-earned bath after the conditions made it very difficult to stay on your feet, let alone cross the finish line!

The senior men had a 12 strong contingent out with Jamie Pugh leading the team home in 56^th with Scott Ramsell one second and one place behind. Tim Jones was the 5^th M60 to finish. Two U17 men and 4 U15 boys represented the club with Archie Lynch first home for the U17’s in 20^th and Emile Jansen Van Rensburgh first Vale athlete in for the U15’s. The U13 boys race saw 6 athletes competing for the Vale with Zachary Honour crossing the line in 26^th and a fantastic run from Luca Dolan saw him finish 4^th in the U11’s race.

Alice Rolfe was the star in the senior women’s team taking a very respectable 24^th place. Sue Barnes finished 4^th F65 and Vicky Sheldon was 7^th F55. We only had one athlete in the combined U17/U20 women race with Lucy Cuthbert finishing 38^th overall and 33^rd U17. There was a strong turnout for the U15 girls with Lucinda McRonald leading our team of 6 home in 17^th place. Gabriella Cheung ran well for 17^th position in the U13 girls race and Penny Edwards giving the team its other top 10 finish of the day with 10^th in the U11 girls race.

Going into the final match in Beford (Keysoe Equestrian Centre) next month (February 11^th) the U11 boys sit 3^rd with the U13 girls, U15 girls and U20 men in 5^th in their respective age groups. As a team we sit 10^th overall.

Dennis Orme Trophy

This trophy recognises a team’s turnout rate compared to the previous season and aims to promote competition retention and encourage increased participation from clubs in the league. As a club we currently sit 3^rd in the Dennis Orme Trophy standings (behind Dacorum AC and Watford Harriers) going into the final match. If we want to win this trophy we will need as many athletes running at the final match as possible!
