Good Friday Relays – Newburn – 29/03/13

This was the 1st time the majority of those that ran for the Bounders today had done this event before and what a great event it was full marks to Elswick Harriers for hosting such a smooth and well organised event. Lovely to see so many athletes from the North East out along with some international ones too one of which ran in the 1500m final at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London!

The lasses were first to run the format being teams of 3 each runner having to complete an out and back 2.2 mile course in and around the Newburn Riverside Park. Sadly we did not have complete teams due to a couple of the ladies pulling out through illness amongst other things. Big well done to Leanne, 3rd fastest Vet, Jane, Becky and Maresa you all ran very well.

Results

Leanne Robertson 13:29

Becky Morningg 14:02

Jane Heatherington 14:33

Maresa Bell 15:09

 

Once the Senior and Vet Woman had finished it was time for the Senior and Vet Men to do their bit. 2 full teams had been entered prior to the event we were banking on entering a 3rd team on the day but unfortunately Elswick were over subscribed for the 1st time ever and had to close the entries early. Apologies to those that wanted to run but couldn’t we will make sure we are more organised and enter all teams in advance in future so everyone gets the chance to run.

The format for the lads was teams of 4 each runner having to complete an out and back 2.2 mile course in and around the Newburn Riverside Park. Congratulations to Jordan Bell who was fastest Bounder of the day managing to beat someone called Stewy Bell by 3 seconds!! Well done to the rest you all ran very well with some impressive times for certain individuals, keep up the good work.

North East Harrier League – Prudhoe – 23/03/13

Following a long, hard season of XC running, which culminated with Saturday’s fixture at Prudhoe the Bounders finished off the season in fine form. Still missing some key runners through injury for some fixtures it was pleasing to see so many members having a go at XC running for the 1st time over the course of the season. The Bounders have competed as a team in the Harrier League, XC relays, North East Championships and also National Championships. Everyone has enjoyed the experience of these events some of us for the 1st time, the club as a whole with regards to the North East and National Championships, in extreme weather conditions, deep mud and lots of it, snow, ice, wind and rain. The team spirit this season has been second to none along with the support crew who come along to help out and cheers us on over the cold winter months.

 

The Senior and Vet men have had to run some fixtures this season with a mixture of abilities with not always the fastest runners being out. That said those that did run were key in the success of the season without these we would have been much further down the league. To have Stewy Bell in the team is a great boost and his words of encouragement have helped a lot of people. Mark Fish a member of Consett Run England this time last year has ran the whole season and loved every minute of it, well maybe not that hill in Prudhoe. There were a lot of new members in the team this season along with those that have ran XC for years we thank them all for their efforts over the season.

Isaac Dunn finished the season as the U17 Men`s champion with Jordan Bell finishing 3rd and Rob Savage being promoted to the fast pack. Stewy Bell has to take credit for getting these lads in top form with Isaac and Jordan representing Durham schools at inter counties and national level. We are not sure what they were playing at on Saturday with Isaac losing 1 shoe, and Jordan and Rob loosing both in the mud, well done for finishing the race though. The lads will be moving up into the senior men`s team next season and we welcome them to the team, they might even learn to put the tent and flag up and take it back down again!

The Senior & Vet Ladies team have been in fantastic form this season with promotions in packs for Becky, Leanne and Sarah early in the season. To finish 3rd in division 1 is no mean feat and every single runner has played their part. Sarah as always leading from the front with the chasing pack of Leanne and Becky close behind. Amanda, Jane, Louise, Maresa and Sara have all played a massive part in the team their efforts are invaluable and are much appreciated.

Final North East Harrier League Fixture – Prudhoe

It`s the last fixture in this seasons NEHL this Saturday 23/03/13 and both the men and the woman are in great positions in their respective leagues aiming to finish the season as high as possible. To do this we need as many runners from the club of all standards running this Saturday so the teams can get as many points as possible. It really is a team game and every single runnner does count. There are no race fees to pay you just come along and do your best.

The men will be meeting at 11:30 am at Belle Vue on Saturday morning to car share to the event so if you want a lift then come along for this time otherwise make your own way there in time for your race, look out for the Bounders flag and tent. So if you have nothing to do this Saturday and fancy running up and down some fields in the snow and mud then get yourself along to Prudhoe. As it`s the last fixture of the season there will be beer and cakes at the end for everyone. The whole team are also planning to go out to Consett afterwards for drinks once we get cleaned up.

 

Timetable of events

12.15 Combined Boys & Girls under 11

12.30 Boys under 13

12.35 Girls under 13

12.50 Boys under 15

12.55 Girls under 15

13.15 Senior Men

14.00 Junior men under 17

14:25 Under 17/20 Women & Senior/Veteran Women

Location

Prudhoe community high school (NE42 5LJ) a long walk to the start and tents so be prepared for a yomp.

Directions

Quickest way from Consett is down to Ebchester then turn left down and over the bridge up the hill on the other side look for the Prudhoe signpost by the old Marley roof tiles building and take a right turn. Follow the signs for Prudhoe you really can`t get lost, Sarah!

Parking

Parking is very limited some parking in the school grounds. Suggest try and park near the bottom of the hill as you come into Prudhoe. There have been problems in past years with runners parking across residents’ driveways and blocking bus routes and more parking complaints this year could jeopardise future running of the event.  Please park responsibly.

Registration

Please remember to use your number you have had for this season. The results team do a great job and haven`t got time to mess about with numbers so if you run in the wrong number YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. Anyone that is running for the 1st time this season will need to let either Stewy, Sarah or Ian know ASAP so we can get you registered with Vicki from NEHL and get you a number to collect from the high school on Saturday.

The course

Two laps making full use of a steep-sided valley. Some stream crossings and two ascents of THE hill about 1K from the finish! Spectating is good with several good spots to watch the action so please come along and run or support.
