Triumph at Kings Garn CC6

The Kings Garn Gutter fixture on the 20th January provided a rare muddy and shoe sucking course, in the latest CC6 race this season. 34 Winchester runners overwhelmed the opposition and powered the club to first and second in the women's and men's team positions respectively. The men's team are now only 12 points behind Lordshill and just ahead of Southampton Tri, so the last 2 races will prove interesting.
nKathy Bailey led the field (1st), followed by Imogen Emmet (5th) and Susy Perry (6th) to make up the women's team, closely followed by Karen Rushton (8th), Charlotte Hoskins (9th), Penny Freeman (10th), with a welcome return from Simone Paulson (21st), Liz Marshall (25th), Louise Snook (38th), Madeline Vosser (63rd) and Carrie Oliver (65th).
nThe men came in force, with Guy Brayn (1st), James Moore (4th), debutante Archie Ives (8th) and Wayne Bevan (10th) to score the men's second team victory this season (the women's team have won four times so far). The Winchester pack also included Pete Sansome (11th), Andrew White (13th), Andrew Rushmer (16th), Jack England (19th), Alex Whiting (20th), Dan Carter (24th), Jono Brown (26th), Harry Stow (32nd), Peat Allan (40th), Steve Oliver (42nd), David Vosser (43rd), Adrian Haughton (44th), good packing gents!! Saul Duck (59th), Stephen Lowy (61st), Colin McManus (65th), Steve Cluett (76th), Rob Porter (78th), Martyn West (123rd) - welcome back, and Pete Townsend (126th).
