Sam and Sian Jones and Nicky Osman were in Monmouth on Saturday for the 4.2 mile Kymin Winter Race. Sam finished in third position.

GLCL XC: Monmouth

The first GLCL XC fixture of the year and a return visit to Humble by Nature near Monmouth. Organised by Spirit of Monmouth, the course was slightly different to last year taking an extra field or two and running anti-clockwise. As always, we were well represented with over 50 club members running. Jamie Parry was first home for the club finishing in second place with Hywel Diplock not far behind in 5th place. Well done to Hayley Edwards for completing her first cross country with the club after only recently joining.
