crosscountry2016On Thursday 29th September, boys travelled to the first Brecon League fixture at Crickhowell.  In glorious weather, our juniors ran so well that the B team came 2nd overall, out of 19 teams!  The A team were convincing winners, led by new boys Alex and Alex, in 1st and 2nd, closely followed by Josh 4th and Josh (a year under age) 6th, out of 85 runners.  The seniors followed with an almost equally convincing win, led by their youngest member Rowan, George, Robbie and Henry, who finished 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th respectively, out of 21 runners.  The second Brecon League fixture will be on Thursday 13th October.
