NEHL Lambton Castle, 20th October 2024

Due to various absences and injuries, we had a smaller cross-country turnout than usual (with the men even outnumbering the women, a rare occurrence!). However, once the driving wind and rain had given way to some sunshine, there were three cross-country debuts in Claremont colours for Jim Crinnion (one week on from the Chicago marathon), …

NEHL Thornley Hall Farm, 28th September 2024

Following the very wet winter which meant that this fixture, and Lambton, had to be cancelled last season due to the fields being far too wet to be used for parking, this year’s Harrier League sees us running the venues in a new sequence.
