Maricel was on a trip to Kuwait and whilst there it would be rude not to take part in a 10k race. I wonder if anyone commented on the club vest?

GLCL XC: Pontllanfraith

The second fixture in the GLCL XC 2018/19 season took place in Pontllanfraith on Sunday and it was a muddy one! There was a great turnout from the Green Army with some running back-to-back after the Inter-Regionals in Brecon on Saturday. There was a river crossing, lots of mud and the Ditch of Doom which claimed many a runner including some of the army.
