It does not seem four years ago that we first joined this league and put a team out in Division Four. We gained promotion that year and in each of the subsequent years and after only four races in this season, we are already Mid Lancs Cross Country Champions. Quite an achievement which says a lot about the team spirit within the club.
But our success is not just confined to the men. After another brilliant performance today from our women left them leading division two, having taken maximum points in every race this season, and they also cannot now be beaten and they are Division Two Champions and assured of promotion to Division One next year. The strength and spirit of the ladies squad is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that the ladies 'B' team is heading Division Three and the ladies V35 team are 2nd, but on equal points with the top club Wigan.
Finally, it was only last year that we started a junior section and yet our U11 boys are leading their league. However, there is more work for them to do finish top at the end of the season.
Great all round individual performances and great team spirit today. The individual finishing positions were:

Great to see one of our juniors already out racing this year. Maddison Parrington went up to Kendal for this opening race of the new Winter League season. In the U13 girls race, she came home in 31st position with a time of 10:18.
It was pretty mild up at Kielder and made for perfect race conditions. David Poole went up on Saturday and camped over with race winner David Murphy and new member Michael Harluow.
