Essex Vets cross country

Saturday 5th December 2009

Well done to Mike Rosbrook who took part in the Essex County Veteran Cross Country Championships at Chigwell Row on Saturday 5th December. Weather conditions were ideal but the heavy rain of recent weeks ensured that the 5 mile course was very muddy & therefore extremely challenging. Despite this Mike put in a sterling effort finishing in a brilliant first position in the over-70 group.
