Thirty-three of our junior athletes competed at the London Youth Games at Parliament Hill on Saturday. Rather than running for the club in the usual way, they were representing Ealing in a contest between all 32 London Boroughs. It was a creditable performance by the club. We fielded both boys […]
We spent a largely successful Saturday afternoon in Stevenage, competing in the second cross country fixture of the Met League. With guest club Cambridge University sending a competitive squad of 20 men and 14 women to the race, the senior fields hit record numbers of 400 men and 165 women. […]
We sent a senior men’s team and several junior teams to the ECCA Cross Country Relay Championships in Mansfield last Saturday. It was the first time the men had competed in this event for many years, and they performed well, achieving their target of a top 50 finish. Although missing […]
It was a wet and windy afternoon at Fryent Country Park in Kingsbury last Saturday, where we competed in two concurrent cross country competitions: the Liddiard Trophy and the North of Thames Championships.
