Phil York and Fiona Kennedy report on the weekend’s cross country races: Last Saturday ESM made the short trip along the A40 to Uxbridge, the venue for the third fixture of this winter’s Metropolitan League series. This was a proper cross country course, with senior runners facing on each lap […]
Phil York reports from the senior races: “I was really pleased to spend this afternoon hanging out with these eager ESM cross country runners, pictured here raring to go at Trent Park, Cockfosters! Chilly weather but firm going underfoot for some good old traditional cross country competition in the Fraternity/Sorority […]
