Over the summer of 2014 Tony Crossley took part in the English fell-running championships for over 60s. There are 6 races spread out over the summer and athletes have to compete in at least 4 of them. And as it’s fell-running all the races are in the North of England and Tony was the only...

We are heading towards Christmas and this means changes to our normal training routines over the next 2 or 3 weeks. In particular this coming week sees the last Tuesday evening circuits session and the last Thursday evening session at Imberhorne for 2014. We have a couple of weeks off and re-start on January 6th...

We have had to pull out of the Sportshall match this coming Sunday December 14th because very few of our athletes are available to take part. We’re sorry about this and we hope for a better response for the last two matches of the season on January 18th and February 2nd. Phil Rogers will be...

News from Lancing for last Saturday’s cross-country league match – the third match of the winter. In the previous match we had 13 athletes but, with pre-Christmas events taking their toll, we had only 8 athletes at Lancing. However 5 of these athletes didn’t compete in the previous match and, if my arithmetic is correct,...

We have the third Sussex Cross-Country league match next Saturday December 6th at Lancing and it would be great to see even more athletes than we had at the previous match. Please talk to Tim Ivorson if you would like to run. What’s happening over the next few days ? Tuesday December 2 – Circuits...

We had 13 athletes taking part in the Sussex Cross-Country league match at Plumpton last Saturday – the most we’ve had for a number of years. And the best performance came from our youngest athlete. There was a race for under 11 athletes with a total of about 90 boys and girls running together. The...

Last Thursday evening saw 36 athletes in the 7 o’clock session – the most I can ever remember us having at Imberhorne during the winter months. Let’s hope for similar turn-outs when we get to next summer’s league matches. This coming Saturday November 22nd sees the second Sussex cross-country league match of the winter season...

Abby Beswick has been nominated for the Sporting Moment of the Year in the 2014 East Grinstead Courier Sports Awards. Abby’s Sporting Moment came when she broke a record which was set in 1969 – winning the Under 17 80 metres hurdles in the Sussex Schools Championships in a time of 11.6 seconds. Not surprisingly...

A quiet week with a number of athletes missing training because of half-term week. Next Sunday November 9th sees the first Sportshall match of the winter at Tanbridge House School in Horsham. There are 3 age-groupings and you can take part if you are in school years 5 up to (and including) year 10. Phil...

I forgot to mention that last Saturday we had 4 athletes taking part in the first match of the Sussex Cross-Country league at Goodwood. Tim Ivorson ran in the senior mens race and, as he normally does, came nearer the back than the front. Gemma Hayes ran the senior ladies race and Liam Rieley (under...
