Results Round Up

This week we have results to round up for you from Cardiff and Cwmtawe.

Sunday 8th November was the Cardiff Cross Challenge incorporating the second round of the John Collins Cross Country League. Held over an undulating course with firm conditions underfoot it was great to see such another large turnout from the club of very close to 100 finishers. Thanks to all those who ran, especially those outside of our scoring runners who play a equally vital role preventing the other teams accumulating so many points. Thanks to our team mangers too, who have the added challenge of trying to get team photos of all the runners together. With the URDD junior races incorporated too, the report below just focuses on the league positions rather than the combined league, British Cross and URDD results.
