SROCkite.gif (2521 bytes) SROC qualify for CST final

In almost Spring-like weather a strong contingent from SROC just failed a clean sweep in the Compass Sport Trophy heat at Irwell Valley today. This was the first year that we have competed in the Trophy event for smaller clubs and our strength in depth was evident with 10 wins out of 11 courses, and second place in the 11th. First places worth 100 points were claimed by: Mike Johnson, Tony Marlow, Zoe Harding, Quentin Harding, Jane Anthony, Julian Lailey, Laurence Johnson, Helen Ockenden, Finlay Johnson and Alice Ball. 99 points for second places went to Sue Roome and Michael Wilmore. Thirteen runners score in the club total so one 98 pointer was needed to reach our total of 1296. 98 points are awarded to either third or second place, depending on the class. (Smaller classes drop 2 points per place). The official results show Deb Murrell as the 98 pointer but the same score was also credited to Mark Edwards, Becca Rooke, Gavin Smith, Martyn Roome, Dick Collins, Jacob Roberts, Annie Ockenden, Craig Somers and Niamh Marlow, any of which could have been the nominated scorer. Many more members helped to depress the scores of other clubs. Results are here.
