Frostbite Friendly League – Race Report: Sunday 8th December 2019

 

168 junior runners and 415 seniors took part in the third Frostbite Friendly League meet, at Ramsey 1940’s Camp, on Sunday 8^thDecember. In bright sunshine after significant rainfall, 24 seniors and 7 juniors took part to represent Cambridge & Coleridge AC; just one of the 15 Cambridgeshire Clubs participating in this winter series. There was a good deal of mud to contend with round the field edges and whilst a few puddle-strewn farm tracks offered better purchase for the seniors, a brisk headwind sweeping the fens added a different challenge.

C&C AC’s seniors earned a points’ score for the match placing them in fifth position behind Riverside, BRJ, Hunts AC & Yaxley. Duncan Coombs was C&C’s star of the match, finishing in first place overall, with team-mates Rob Mahen and Rob Prichard close behind. Chloe Haines, Jane Packman and Emma Etheridge made up the female scoring contingent for the team.

C&C’s junior team placed a well-earned second after the swift and multitudinous Hunts AC, whose runners finished in positions 1-6. Josh Vale & Elizabeth McCluskey were the first C&C junior male and female to complete the roughly 1.5 mile course in 8^thand 35^thplace, with Harry Hiscock, Isaac Pembery and Immy Pembery making up the rest of the scorers for the junior team.

After three races, Cambridge & Coleridge AC Seniors are in fourth position behind Riverside Runners, BRJ and Hunts AC. Despite a slow start to the season owing to lower attendance numbers, the Juniors are in eleventh place and stand to gain a great deal following today’s sterling performance.
