A massive well done to all the Roadents who turned out for the Club today, on one of the toughest courses and in the rain everyone did the Club proud.
Once again Brian Gough showed his class in the Vet 70 Category leading the field from start to finish.
With the Mens Team only able to get five runners to run it was important they all gave everything, and so they did, Peter Coles 30th pushed hard on the second lap and headed Dan Bodman into the last lap, Pete held his position and finished with a big smile. Rhodri followed and dug in as mum was watching from the side lines, Rhod managing to finish in the top 100 for the first time 84th. Who would finish next a well deserved 122nd for the ever improving Justin Jones just holding off Andy Dunscombe 123rd, Carl Edwards dug in and can be proud of a very creditable 133rd.
In the ladies race we had four Roadents taking part Kelly was first to finish in 27th place another hard fought race between Fiona and Sue, Fiona 59th manging a sprint to pass Sue 60th in the finish straight.
It was good to see Jan 114th taking part after Bridgend, Jan can be proud of her run.
Positions to be confirmed….

Threre were good performances all round for the men, Brian Gough once again showed his class in the vet 70 winning by more than 6 minutes, Peter Coles was 2nd vet 45 and Nick Frost 3rd vet 50.

Men VET 70
Another great run from Brian Gough gives him a good lead in the vet 70 Category. Brian won his category by more than 6 minutes.
Ladies
Our Ladies Team were 24th/54 Teams and are currently 4th in Division 3.
There were 179 finishers.
What a shame we didn’t have more ladies taking part, after a fantastic effort from Fiona, Sue and Jan we are currently 4th out of 14 Teams in Division 3. If we can get a full Team for the next one we can move upto 3rd.
Another strong run from Fiona Davies 2nd vet 55 and 75th in the race just held off first time cross country runner Sue Wales 78th. Jan Edwards again doing her first cross country dug in to finish 125th.

A big well done to everyone who took part especially to Laurence Pole and Fiona Davies who were running their first Gwent Leagues for the club.
With a late withdrawel from Jason Scanlon it was left to Peter Coles and Daniel Bodman to lead the way.
And lead the way Daniel did leading the field for most of the first lap, it wasnt long before Peter closed the gap and going into the final lap peter opened a 20m lead over Daniel.
It looked as if with 200m to go and a 20m gap Daniel would have to settle to finish behind pete, but an incredible 200m sprint saw Daniel just pass pete on the line.
Mens Team-198 finishers
Daniel Bodman 19th 35.56, Peter Coles 20th 35.56, Andy Baker 76th 39.55, Rhodri Evans 78th 40.12, Laurence Pole 145th 44.25, Andy Dunscombe 178th 48.41.
Brian Gough 1st vet 70 in 25.40
