Senior Men (203 starters) – Newport’s advance is too little, too late |
The Gwent League resumed after its regular January break
over the fairly kind Brecon course. Despite moving up one place, Newport’s men
are still in the relegation zone with only a mathematical impossibility to save
them in the final race of the season.
Johnathan Morgan provided a quality run in 18th place, with Dave Griffiths
(90th) joining him in the top 100. Darryn McAtee bounced back from his
struggling effort at Taunton to finish 106th, sixteen places ahead of training
partner and club rival Stuart Pearce (122nd). Dave Proffitt had Stuart in his
sights, finishing in 135th place.Senior Men Division 1

Senior women (117 starters) – Saxena/Loudon rivalry reaches peak
|
|
Our 2-woman team maintained their 8th position in Division 2. Ann Saxena
finished 31st, eleven places ahead of Rhian Loudon (42nd). Ann was the top
Masters 50 athlete.
The really interesting thing is that overall in the league Ann lies 22nd, one
place and one point ahead of Rhian, so it all depends on the final race..
