Weekly Roundup, Nov 4th – Nov 10th

Severn Bridge Night Race

This week saw the first of three Severn Bridge Night Races which always sells out fast (hence three races rather then just the one they started with). It’s a fast race and due to the time of year can be quite windy but the weather was kind this year. Well done to Mark Williams for taking home the Stella for winning his age category.

It’s a Good Effort, But It’s No Sharon Newell!

John Collins Gwent League XC Pembrey

Around 40 intrepid Green Army members made a trek down to West Wales in not ideal conditions for the next fixture in the John Collins Gwent League Cross Country 2019/20 season. The ground was good, the weather was changeable and everyone ran their best.
