Cirencester XC Results

A successful Cirencester XC!

Cirencester XC Fixture was hosted by WHH and Didcot.  A huge thanks to Paul Jegou, Gareth, Vanessa, Alex and all the Harriers who helped to make a successful return of this fixture to the Oxfordhire XC League.

We had a strong turn out, with 24 juniors and 30 seniors competing.  It was lovely to have debut runs from Kayleigh Goding, Alfie Belcher, Anja Wileman, Poppy & Matilda Richards, Matthew Jacobs, Royston Oxendale, Graham Holland.  It was also fantastic to have impressive returns by Becky Hodgson and Alex Briscoe.

Results

Congratulations to all the Harriers who competed amongst the best cross-country runners in the Oxfordshire.  It was great to see the such a cheerful and sporting attitude exhibited on a challenging course.
