There were many great results in the first autumn fixture of the Hants XC league which was held at Kings Park in Bournemouth. Seventeen (yes, 17!) men contested the senior event, and the team took a commanding lead at the top of Division 2. (The photo shows 16 of the men – unfortunately Nigel was still rushing back from officiating.) The U15 girls team also came first in their division. There were some spectacular individual results, and a few people took part for the very first time. What a terrific day for Poole AC. Hopefully we can keep up the momentum at the second event at Aldershot on 4th December.
