Mid Lancs Cross Country League Presentation - The Women - 21 April 2017

For most of the first year of the club, we had only one lady member, so our women have been a little behind our men in team events.  However, as our female membership has increased, they have grown into a wonderful supportive group and this is now paying off in team events such as this league. Last year, our women gained promotion from the lowly third division and by turning out and working together, this year, they became division two champions.  Not only did they win their league, but they won it in style, by winning every race of the season.  Following on from that, they were also champions in the V35 League.  But it does not stop there.  The women are working as a group and for most races, many numbers turned out.  Cross country is nothing if it is not a team sport and this turning out in numbers and supporting each other has paid off, resulting in the ladies B team gaining promotion from Division Three to replace our A team there.   It has certainly been a season to remember.
