Lincolnshire Runner Cross Country League 2017/18
Match 1 West Common, Lincoln 29/10/17
There was a fantastic turn out by competitors and supporters on the 1st of the 4 Lincolnshire Runner Cross Country League, with 306 competitors from 22 clubs and 3 individual guest runners. Louth AC had the 3rd highest number of runners at 31 behind bigger clubs Lincoln Wellington AC 63 and Cleethorpes AC 35 with Scunthorpe & District AC 4th at 19. The course was reasonably flat and fast with a gradual long hill at the start and repeated laps for the older age groups. In addition the runners had to manoeuvre past horses grazing on one part of the common and tackle the slight head wind on an autumn sunny morning.
Brilliant result for the Senior Women’s team – 1st place with 28 points. Lincoln Wellington AC and Wolds Veteran Runners Club finished 2nd and 3rd places respectively both on 33 points. The Under 15 Girls and Boys teams both achieved 2nd places. The Under 15 Girls 24 points with 1st place Cleethorpes AC 10 and Scunthorpe & District AC 3rd on 26 points. The Under 15 Boys listed as 2nd place with the same number of points as first place Grantham AC 20 and Cleethorpes AC 3rd on 46 points.
