Cumbria XC League 2011 race #1: Cockermouth -Sat 8th Oct

The first fixture in the 2011-12 Cumbrian cross country calendar took place on Saturday afternoon. Over one hundred athletes from clubs across the county and from under 11 to V65 tackled the testing Cockermouth course, dampened by showery rain -fitting conditions for the opening fixture of the season.


Keswick AC was well represented and indeed, came away with the spoils in a number of categories, including individual and team wins in both the senior men's and women's races.


Well done all who took part. The next race in the Cumbria League is at Penrith a week on Saturday -October 22nd, the Mid-Lancs League getting underway the following week (October 29th) at Burnley.
