‘Cross: Under 12 Team Success. Mistley, 3rd February 2013Monday, 04 February 2013 21:59 | Written by Paul Barry |
Colchester Rovers hosted the final event of the Eastern Cyclo-Cross League, the Team Championships. It was an energy sapping course with thick mud making for heavy going and forcing frequent dismount/remounts as rear wheels struggled for grip on the uphill sections. Undeterred by the conditions, the Under 12 Team consisting of Oliver Griggs, Matthew Whitwell, Fraser Elsworth and Sam Asker took second place, narrowly holding off Ashwell CC. The young WSW & T riders did the club proud as they all gave 100% effort and they needed to as the second /third place team battle was decided by a handful of seconds. After the announcement of the results and collection of medals, there were several very happy young WSW&T riders. The race consisting of 11 teams was won by Welwyn Wheelers.

The snow was washed away by Saturday evening’s rain making for muddy race conditions. Both of the West Suffolk Wheelers & Tri members competing in the 2 Hour Race put in strong performances. Richard Emmerson finished 14th and Paul Watson not far behind in 23rd out of 110 finishers in the veteran category. The final round will be held on 24th February @ Mayday Meadow, Thetford Forest.

‘Cross: A Winter Wonderland (Round 14)Monday, 21 January 2013 21:02 | Written by Barry Denny (words)/Stephen Hill (photograph) |
I’m very pleased to report a great day’s sport that we promoted on Saturday (19th January) as the final leg of the Eastern Cross League at King Edward School. First of all a big THANK YOU to all the members that put in such an effort to put this event on, when everyone expected us to give in to the weather and cancel it! We had plenty of volunteers on Friday evening to make a start on course preparation, a great working party from 7.30am Saturday morning and a veritable army of marshals for the duration of the event, doing a great job and encouraging the riders, clearing up afterwards and a terrific crew offering catering all day and supplying some excellent cakes!

Sunday 13th Jan saw the third round of the Winter Cross Country league at Haughley Park Stowmarket . WSW&TC had our biggest turn out with 11 runners in the senior race and Myles Taylor our sole junior. A cold & frosy morning made for classic cross country conditions over the two lap course. Matt Shingleton came a creditable 21st and was the first club WSW&TC member in, not far behind Sharon Calton came in 66th, 5th lady in and that pushes Sharon up to 3rd overall in her age group, other places are Phil Clarke 111, Julian Colman 123, Mike cross 126, Paul Sawyer 165, David Leaver 170, Chris Hinitt 190, Simon Kitching 203, Dawn D'amarco 222 & Jill Wilshaw 229. The Junior Race was over lap with Myles coming a creditable 61st. Both races had large fields so well done to everyone, with such a large club entry this also moved us up a couple of places in the overall team competitions, let's hope we can keep the momentum going for the final two races, please check the web site calendar for details of them.
