Some good performances today from a slightly smaller team than normal following on from the school races this week…
U13 girls – Another win for Rebecca who dealt with the windy conditions well, sitting in with the lead group and then putting her foot down in the woods and kicking like crazy at the final corner – a very mature run, well done. Kirsty was a strong 6th on… Continue reading
