We finished the Met League Cross Country league with a flourish at Wormwood Scrubs last Saturday. The men’s fourth victory in Division Two secured them promotion to Division One (where the senior women remain by the skin of their teeth). The U15/U17 women and U13 girls also rewarded their coaches […]
The fourth fixture of the North West London cross country league took place in a water-logged Allianz Park in Hendon last Saturday. ESM came away with three top-three places, a second place for the U15 girls’ and U17 men’s teams, and third team places for the U13 boys and the […]
We had some great results at the Middlesex Schools, which took place at Harrow School. John Fielding came away as County champion for Year 8/9 boys, and Nicola Ravenhill is County champion for Year 8/9 girls. Six more of our athletes qualified for the County team for the English Schools, with success across the […]

We successfully retained the Hec Petersen Trophy against Ranelagh Harriers in Richmond Park on Saturday afternoon. In the six-to-score match, ESM scored 139 points to beat Ranelagh by 30 points. The Hec Petersen Trophy was presented by John Petersen in 1994 in memory of his father who died in 1993. […]
Mud glorious mud! Horsenden Hill is known for it at this time of year, and we hear that the odd shoe succumbed to its gloopy powers in the course of the afternoon. But we were also blessed with sunshine for the fourth Met League Cross Country fixture. As hosts, we […]
We brought back four sets of team medals and two individual silver medals from the Middlesex Cross Country Champs at Wormwood Scrubs on Saturday – a good haul, but perhaps not one of our better years. More remarkable was the amount of surface water on this normally flat and fast […]
