THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Where do I start! Thank you to the Cunninghams for all their guidance, knowledge and encouragement - the coaches for providing me with their athletes - to the vets and seniors who gave up their day even though they have jobs and families etc - to all the athletes who competed, not only in their comfort zone, but also in events they don't usually compete in/have never done before - to the younger athletes whose enthusiasm is positively infectious - to our small army of officials, without their commitment we could not have competed - to the parents for allowing your kids to take part and being the 'taxi driver' and also those roped in to doing 'little jobs' on the day - a big thank you to each and every one of you - and finally - and not forgetting .........
My hero
- MAX McFARLANE for
stepping up to the vets 3000m and showing us ALL what being an 'active club member' and a 'team player' is really about!

David Cummings 7mile Handicap Race
Video of the race by John Kynaston ...
|
|
Taken from Scottish Athletics web site .....
Euan’s superb run, aided by Josh Kerr, Jonathan Glen and Robert Bough, helped Scotland to silver medals in the team race in the Boys Under-15s. Kerr (Edinburgh AC) finished fifth, Glen (Inverclyde AC) in seventh while Bough (Edinburgh AC) was 22nd. That was a terrific effort by the four counters, backed up by Aidan Thompson (Pitreavie) and Fraser Glass (Victoria Park-Glasgow), in the overall team race.
Neil Gourley was another young Scot who impressed as he claimed the bronze medal in the three-mile race for Boys Under-17s. The Giffnock North athlete sought to keep in touch with the leaders throughout with Max Aitchison the next best Scot at 15th place.
