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 […]

The team results were mixed, but the U15 girls and boys both improved on their result from the first fixture. The U15 girls’ team finished second, with Nicola Ravenhill runner-up […]
