A good day secured by some very decent performances at this high standard relay race. With a good number of juniors dropping out from this local race the remaining juniors left put our teams to top 10 positions. Some of these juniors raced 3k cross country midweek for the Hillingdon schools qualifying for London Championships and still turned up on tired legs. With the course of 2k flat fast grass made soft with recent rain fall, with the exception of the U/17s who raced over 3k.
