| 9th Feb | CAU Inter-Counties Champs, Nottingham | Several Barnet & District Athletes travelled
to Woolaton Park Nottingham for these prestigious championships Karen Murphy
(Senior Ladies), Sean Dixon (Junior Men) Eileen Griffiths (Junior Ladies)
and Philippa Horton (U17 Women). All aquitted themselves well running amongst
the best that British Athletics can offer, in blustery conditions where
the wind had quite an effect on most of the athletes The course is a testing
one with a nasty hill right at the start repeated on at least one occasion.
Eileen Griffiths who had been suffering from an ear infection and heavy
cold decided to drop out at the start of the second lap in her race with
breathing problems, a sensible decision in my view. Sean Dixon placed 51st
and 2nd Herts runner in a top quality field and should be pleased with his
race. Karen Murphy who was experiencing for the first time a top quality
event ran a sensible and strong race placing 199th and was 6th scorer for
the county. Philippa Horton placed 143rd and was 6th scorer for the county.
Also a new experience for her. I am sure we shall see all of these athletes
representing their county on other occasions. JUN 51 Sean Dixon 28-38 (2nd Herts scorer) GU17 143 Philippa Horton 22-35 (6th Herts scorer) SENL 199 Karen Murphy 34-23 (6th Herts scorer) |

Mike, despite this being his second session of the day saved James, (last year’s winner of the Handicap Shield) from lugging both the cup and shield to Australia. This will be James’s last cross country races before moving to Oz in March. We will miss his smiling face and the very many points he has won for us over a great many years. We wish him the best of luck. The course was to Mike’s liking; boggy.

| 2nd Feb | Chingford League, Victoria Park, Hackney |
Another good turnout from the Ladies Team in this traditionally, well
supported race, ensured the momentum was maintained for our quest to win
the League Title. Although a fast, flat course, the strong wind made times,
generally, slower than last year. Karen Faloon was the exception, improving
from 36:25 to 34:55; a remarkable performance in the conditions and demonstrating
that she’s an exceptional V50. Brigid Corless ran creditably in her first
race, chasing home Kate Scott. Tiffany displayed her usual strength of
character, determined to finish despite feeling unwell and taking at least
two ‘pit stops’. Our ‘A’ Team was led home by Helen Hoyle (2nd overall)
and Kath Woods (3rd) was our second finisher. The ‘B’ were 3rd and 10th
overall out of 14 teams competing. Barnet Ladies are now 10 points clear
at the top of the League with only the final Eastway race to come so let’s
have a full turnout to celebrate a tremendous winter campaign. |

| 2nd Feb | North West London League, Berkhamstead |
Our 4th league race saw a diminished team but saw quality performances
from several of our athletes. The U11 girls race saw Emily Prati place
4th in her race and only 12 seconds behind the winner. The U13 girls race
saw Zanthe Wray in her first race for the club coming home in 3rd place
a superb debut supported by Nicola Wallis in 15th place. Katherine Henderson
was 8th in the U15 girls race and Philippa Horton was 4th in the U17 Womens
race. In the U11 boys race Young Niall Fleming came 3rd he will be in
this age group next year and Owen Randall was 15th. For the U 13 boys
Ben Smith was 22nd and Josh Chilton 24th. We have several athletes near
the top overall in some of the age groups and can only wonder how well
some of them would have done if they had competed in all of the races
this season. For example Philippa Horton who has run all 4 races this
season is currently in 2nd place Nial Flemming is 9th from 3 races, Owen
Randall 16th from 3 races. Emily Prati 10th from 2 races, Nicola Wallis
3rd from 4 races, and Katherine Henderson 4th from 4 races. |

| 6th Nov | Chingford League, Eastway 5km road race |
Another clean sweep of all team positions and both individual positions, this time with two different runners to those that won the cross country at Loughton. Well done to everyone, particularly those that responded to the call to compete. We only just managed to win the B by 10 points so really do want everyone out at Trent Park on Dec 15th for the next match if we are to win all four trophies. If we win all four remaining B races we would win by 3 points. If we slip to 2nd to Orion on just one occasion we then have to win every other one to win by just one point - so it is going to be a close call. Helen, Karen, Kath and Leigh were 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th lady finishers.

| 20th Oct | Chingford League, Loughton |
The club achieved a stunning result at Loughton in this fixture, winning
all four team categories, and having both individual winners - possibly
a unique occurrence. Keith Turner stormed to his first league victory,
and possibly the second ever win by a Vet. Dave Wilcock followed him in
- equalling his best ever league position. Then came new member Andy Kelleher
in 6th, with Junior Sean Dixon moving through remarkably on the second
lap for 10th, taking out Richard Gamble at the last knockings. Des showed
that he has recovered from his headline grabbing run at Swansea recently
with a highest ever position - closing the team in at 14th, for a team
score of just 45 points. Fine runs by Mike, Dave, Andy, James etc saw
us close in a B team in 228 points, with the Vets closing in for an amazing
24 points. Without seeing the full results it is difficult to seperate
out the ladies positions, but on the day I wrote down Karen as 1st, Helen
as 3rd, Penny as 5th and Karen as 6th, for an unbeatable team score, well
backed up by the other 8 ladies. There was some discussion on the day
of these remarkable low team scores. Casting my mind back to the days
of Haringey dominance in the 80s I found results in the club magazine
when Haringey scored 37 points in winning at Eastway Nov 87, and scoring
177 with their B team at Eastway in Nov 89. Nevertheless, this was still
a remarkable result, and just goes to show what the club can do. Perhaps
we can beat these scores in one of the remaining Chingford League fixtures! |

| 29th Sept | Southern Veterans' Road Relays. Rushmore Arena, Aldershot |
Our over 50 team excelled themselves by winning the silver medal against
very strong competition in this major championship. Oxford City, the holders
for the last three years were, according to Athletics Weekly, the favourites.
However, Des "psyched up" his men as he was sure a medal could be won
and the team duly rose to the occasion. On the first leg Liam ran an even
paced race finishing 9 seconds down on Hercules Wimbledon who were represented
by ex-marathon International Steve Badgery. Pete then had a good run taking
12 seconds out of the leaders to gain the lead by 3 seconds. On the third
leg John had to take on another International, Grenville Tuck who proceeded
to post the fastest time of the day for the fifties of 20.55 (although
Dave Laynes of Bedford actually ran 20.48 but was not counted as they
did not complete the race). Des therefore started 1.38 behind Hercules.
He steadily whittled this lead down but unfortunately needed a little
more road, finishing just a tantalising 12 seconds behind! After the race
Des was disappointed with his performance as he felt he had not raced
at his best. A couple of days later he developed a bad cold which could
have had a bearing on his run. Nevertheless an outstanding performance
by the whole team. I believe I am correct in stating that this is the
first medal in this event for the O/50's since winning the National Relays
held at Tring in 1988. Des made a great effort to raise teams in all categories
but had difficulty in getting a response from many members. It was most
unfortunate that we could not raise a full team of 40 year olds where
Nick and Reg (both over 55) filled in at the last moment. The same story
for the 60's where Ted and Laurie stepped down and raced in with the 50's
to allow Stephen to compete. With the number of active members in our
Club we should be able to raise teams in all Veteran categories and the
senior event. |
