Southern Area Veterans League Final, 3km Walk, Ashford 5th Sep 10
The SCVAC league final is always a tight event with Blackheath and Bromley, including two SWC men eligible to compete, fought with Herne Hill and six other teams to win a trophy which B&B once regarded as almost their own. However, as last year, they were just behind HHH in 2nd place as the walks took place towards the end of the day and HHH had several strong walkers. Although HHH had the winner in the 2km walk despite a fast time from Roger Michell – an M60 competing in the M35 group! – Shaun Lightman’s 1st M60 well clear of the HHH M60 gained a few extra points overall from our event. The final team result including the subsequent relays remained in HHH’s favour. Gary Macdonald’s fast 2nd in the M50 race coupled with a good M35 place did well for Ashford who finished 3rd team.

Results:
1. V.Pausers (HHH 1st M35) 10 min 16.8 sec; 2. R.Michell (SyWC/B&B 2nd M35) 10 min 30.6 sec; 3. S.Lightman (SyWC/B&B 1st M50) 10 min 58.4 sec; 5. G.Macdonald (SyWC/Ash 2nd M50) 11 min 29.2 sec. Teams – 1.HHH 294.5, B&B 272 and Ash 250.5
