The Senior Men A team have secured the division 3 title and the Vets are Division 2 champions, despite there being 2 fixtures to go.  Still lots to aim for with the men’s ‘B’ team in with a realistic chance of winning division 4. 

The cross country events are free and a fantastic opportunity to build early season strength.
