Gwent league 13th Feb

On another wet day saw the 4th fixture in the Gwent league at Monmouth show ground.

11 harriers made the trip to a very muddy wet course.

first up was Hannah Blundy who showed great form with a very convincing win in a very competive u11 girls race

In the u15 races saw Ollie Thorner off first in the u15 boys who braved the conditions with a cast on protecting his broken arm and still managed a top 20 position with 17th, Ollie will now start to concentrate on multi events.

Elise Thorner also in great form after her run the week before in South West schools, saw here run a great run to finish 2nd in a field that saw some Welsh internationals, this was agreat run on a course suited for preparation for English Schools in March

Senior Ladies saw Debbie Glover our only lady as Katrina Prior was sidelined thru injury but was cheering Deb all the way to 36th

i am sure I saw a smile on Debs face as she was enjoying the mud, Debs run should help us avoid Relegation .

senior men saw 6 men brave the churned up course Luke Prior who was running up 2 age groups to finish 7th and move up to 2nd overall as a u23 shame he will miss last fixture due to English Schools, next in was the ever improving Chris Green 21st, Jacob Longman making his Gwent League debut in 106th, Mike Glover seemed to be enjoying the conditions for 140th, also making his debut was Duncan Veral 214th, Pete Wright on his come back from injury was 249th
