Thames H&H vs South London Harriers Mob Match, Coulsdon - 21/1/12
Thames unfortunately fell a little short in the Mob Match on Saturday at Coulsdon, losing a 15-a-side contest to South London Harriers by 236 points to 274.
There were, however, some excellent runs, with Thames dominating the race at the front. Tom Samuel produced a strong run to take top spot in his first outing in Thames colours for a while, with Howard Bristow not far behind in third. Ben Reynolds also ran very well and would undoubtedly have won the race had he not been directed round for a third lap. Ed Green prduced a great Thames debut in eighth and mention should also go to Stuart Major, who finished fourth running in SLH's colours.
Many thanks to all who braved the blustery conditions and tough SLH course.
