This morning we had 57 competitors making up 19 teams for the first of this season’s Super Teams Sprint Races. Kev once again did a brilliant job organising the event as did our terrific timekeeper, Dave who organised the teams based on handicap. Thank you for all the time and effort you dedicated to this event through the week!

All would agree it was loads of fun, especially with the ‘kick, elbow, bow’ performance that took place of baton changing due to Covid. Our winning team this year was team number 15 with super athletes Simon Bradbery, Samantha Leonard and Mark Whiticker. Great work guys!! 

Following the race we were treated to a sensational breakfast prepared by our very own super chef, Clive. Pancakes, maple syrup, cereal and fruit salad was on the menu and it was delicious! The pancakes were cooked to perfection by Clive and his apprentice, Gerrard. Thank you Clive, Gerard and also Michelle for your organisation of the breakie leading up to today!

It was great to finally have our presentation of awards for the 2019/20 season. Congratulations to Sebastian Thompson who received the encouragement award, Alex Gilks who won last seasons Handicap for a second year running and also to Guy Davoren who received the President’s Award. 

A lot of behind the scenes work goes into an event like this and we would all like to thank everyone who helped make this mornings race a success!
