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.

In the earlier veteran 45+ race, the WSW&T team consisting of Mike Bowen, Adi Grimwood and Paul Barry managed to avoid the wooden spoon finishing 9^th out of the 11 teams.

After the races, the league presented the end of season medals and prizes for the overall standings. Mike Bowen and Richard Muchmore picked up prizes for first and second respectively in the veteran classification. Fraser Elsworth received a prize for 5^th Under 12.

Well done to all those WSW & T members who represented the club and not forgetting their support crews (family and friends).  Pre-season training will start late summer and we look forward to continued progress and some new riders who may have been inspired to give cyclo-cross a go.
