Thank you to Simon Fricke for hosting the first fixture of the season at York yesterday. A good turn-out from almost 30 runners made it a great start to the new season. A fast and firm course and some great post-race hospitality after the race.

Well done to Robert Sparkes (Humberside) and Rose Greenfield (Humberside) for 1st Male and Female in the race.

Race Report and Results

Thanks to everyone who attended today. We had 36 attendees which is magnificent!!

Fine, sunny weather greeted our runners who enjoyed a quite muddy, testing three-lap course.

Some great performances with 1st male/female, Robert Sparkes (Humberside) and Lisa Grantham (Cheshire)

Making their debut appearances were 16 Year Olds - Ben Grantham (Cheshire) and Alfie Bundy (GMP) placed 4th and 5th overall!! Great to see young family members running in our races.

A great post-race gathering in the car-park in the afternoon sun with Halloween Donuts and Choc Chip Cookies rounded the afternoon off nicely.

Thank you to Sue Harrison, Janine Fallon and Jim O'Donnell for their timekeeping and marshal support.

The next fixture is hosted by Cheshire on 15 November.

Doncaster

NPCCL – Fixture #4 – South Yorkshire

Keepmoat Stadium, Doncaster - Wednesday 29 November 2023

Thank you to Andy Lakeland and Gary Durham for hosting another great South Yorkshire Fixture. Cold, crisp sunny weather greeted the 70 plus competitors from the North and Midlands Leagues.

There were some tremendous performances over a challenging, three-lap muddy course with the usual 24 short but steep hill climbs.

Robert Sparkes from Humberside had an electrifying performance winning the race some three minutes ahead of the 2nd placed Midlands runner, Marcus Williams (RAF). Paige Roadley Nottinghamshire, was first lady with Laura Lawler (Lancashire)first Northern League lady.

Thank you also to Graham Curtis, Jim O’Donnell and Steve Brock for time-keeping and marshal support.

The coffee and muffins went down well after the race, and I think all in all a great afternoon was had by everyone.

Thank you to everyone for attending and support and look forward to seeing you in two weeks at the Derbyshire fixture.
