Cross-Country

The First VIII had yet another difficult season with the fitness and availability of our runners being the main problem. Nevertheless the team ran with devotion and was always high-spirited, despite the only win coming once again against Woodhouse Grove by 13-28 points.

The York Schools' Cross-Country Championships saw all our runners in the Over 17 category coming inside the first ten places. They were Richard Shaw, Bruce Neary, Tim Cordier, Ali Marks, Dave Baldry, Dominic Todd and Anthony Curtis. In the Under 17 race Gordon Gibb came a very commendable sixth place. The following also represented the School at the 32nd Midland and Northern Independent Schools' Cross-Country Championships: Richard Shaw, Andy Berrington, Anthony Curtis, Nigel Johnson, Ali Marks and Simon Davies. Out of a total of thirty-one teams which were entered we came a creditable twenty-first.

The Under 15 team won two matches out of three with quite a promising team for years to come. Gordon Gibb captained the side and proved to be their best runner. Despite the disappointing results in the School matches, everyone enjoyed the season and ran their best in both teams.

Colours were awarded to the following:

Simon Davies, Tim Cordier, Dominic Todd and Nigel Johnson, and re-awarded to Ali Marks (Captain), Anthony Curtis, Andy Berrington and Richard Shaw.
