Grand Prix Ex XC League

WEEKEND TO REMEMBER FOR  COLE

Two tough races in 24 hours are a test for anyone but Simon Cole (GOGS) made it a weekend to remember.

 On Saturday he finished  fourth in the final fixture of the Grand Prix Express North Wales Cross-Country League at Oswestry, and that meant that over the season he finished equal first with Gabe Morris (Shrewsbury).

 The following day he proved the appropriateness of his club's name  - the acronym stands for Great Orme Goats - when he won the Nick Beer 10k in windy conditions in Llandudno.

 Shrewsbury won the Division 1 men's title at Oswestry with Eryri Harriers winning the ladies' competition, and Oswestry finished second in both. GOGS ended a very successful first season in the League, their ladies winning the Division 2 trophy and their men being narrowly pipped by Colwyn Bay.

 The full results of the Oswestry fixture and end-of-season awards are on the North Wales Cross-Country League website, while the Nick Beer 10k results are on the TDL Events site.
