East League XC Results, Broxburn

[Graham Bennison]

Thanks and well done to all those who turned out today to run and support the club. After an appalling week of weather conditions at Broxburn were fairly ok, the biting winds that have swept across the ridge in recent years were mild on this occasion.
Highlights. George, Euan, Robert and Craig win team title. The U15 Boys are undefeated over country, road and hill in two years. !!
A team win on day for U13 Boy's. Gavin and Iain McWhinnie, Owen and Ben.
Megan 3rd in Senior Women plus highest ever place of 6th for Sophie.
Anna Dalglish finishes league season undefeated 3 wins out of 3. Anna Hedley 2nd.
A commendable league debut for U15 girl Megan Briers.

Personal view of concerns (please discuss). The turn-out of 8 senior men (all vets) was our lowest ever. WE once turned out 36 at East League. The Kirkcaldy/Glenrothes area is our biggest re population but only one from Kirkcaldy and one from Glenrothes today. The opportunity will soon come along to recruit from Kirkcaldy Parkrun 5km. Will the opportunity be taken ?
No Under 11 boys, No Under 13 girls - a need to recruit in those age groups those will turn out for FAC teams.
