CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS 2007

MARL PITTS X-C 15^TH DEC

DOWN TO THE WIRE

Congratulations to Paul Thompson on winning the overall club championships. Going into the last race of the series there were only two points separating the leading three runners. Andy Stubbs led from Paul and myself but with this tough x-c course it would test both strength and technical ability.

The long season took its toll and due to an on going calf injury I pulled out after the first of three laps. The one point separating Paul and Andy was snatched away as Gary Shaw spoiled Stubsy’s party by splitting the two, Paul finished 3^rd Clayton counter behind Ian Greenwood and Phil Hall, Gary 4^th with Andy finishing 5^th.

A fitting result I think and a great end to the season.

Thank you to everybody who took part in the series of races and to the race selection committee, statistician Mark Nutter, Martin Brady and Pete Billington for getting the info to you all in good time via the web and newsletter.
