Our V40 team of David Symons, Andy Weir, Andy Robinson and Ben Reynolds were the stars of the day, running fantastically to take silver medals behind Herne Hill Harriers in a close encounter. The V60s ran well to take 8th position with the returning Hugh Arnold running our quickest leg. In the Senior competition we put in a solid performance to qualify for the National event at Sutton Park. Particular thanks to Toby Pearson who ran a week after his marathon in Berlin.

A select group of three Thamesmen ran out in this Kingston and Poly race from Sheen Cross. We didn't have enough to warrant a scoring contest, but enjoyed the beautiful conditions in the Park and excellent organisation by our hosts. Our own 2nd claimer Andy Arbour led the field home in impressive fashion to secure yet another K&P championship title.

Anna Garnier shows she means business in her captaincy by storming to a personal best over the five mile course and taking the first tankard of the season. On a beautiful early autumn day for running, Simon Wurr was first Thames man home, but was headed by Paolo Natali who was making a guest appearance. We wish Bernt Erik Roed safe travels back to Norway and congratulations to Simon Molden who ran the handicap in the morning, avoiding a clash with his wedding. Results below
