  Gloucesterhire Cross-Country League, November 2006

Sunshine and autumn colours at their peak formed the backdrop to the 2nd Gloucestershire Cross-Country league race of the winter, at Pittville Park, Cheltenham.  This event also hosts the annual 'dying swan' competition.


There was a good turn-out in the seniors race, as usual

Gregg Ward made good use of the fast, grassy surface  

As attention turned to the water-jump, John Collier demonstrated the benefit of long legs and a big spring

Malcolm White still holds the Yate & District  steeplechase record, but takes things a bit more cautiously these days 
Damien, on the other hand, has some promising 'chasing ahead of him, and Matt took the jump easily in his stride.
Ian provides the first entry in our 'dying swan' competition, as the judges gathered around


The U15 boys race saw a good turn-out from our youngsters, and more entries in our competition

Brett's impression was good enough to get him runner-up in the competition, but Will was taking the jump much more sensibly 
Fraser and Alex were too robust, and simply  ploughed through the stream

Tom managed to find some lilliputians for his entry, while Martin sneaked by without a ripple


Jon and sprinter Henry led the U13 boys field, and more competition entrants

Jon cleared the stream with this leap, but still has a couple of years to wait before he can do a proper steeplechase.
 

 

 

Alex, Felix and (below) Lloyd all provided sound competition entries...

But it was Matt who turn out the competition-winner with this entry

No, Doug, that's a one-legged seagull, not a dying swan!
