Combined team

Sevenoaks AC women repeated their brilliant performance from the first match with second place in the third match of the 2017/18 Kent Fitness League at Oxleas Woods on 26th November. Once again the scorers were Heather Fitzmaurice, Vanessa Gilmartin and Pauline Dalton, with Jacqui O'Reilly back to lead them home in eighth place, despite a hard run in the Kent League the previous day.

The morning started less well for the men as Allan Lee arrived to be given the news that he is now considered an elite athlete and could not score for the team. With top ten finishers from the previous race James Mason and Darrell Smith and fourth scorer John Witton all unavailable on the day, it was fortunate that a big turnout and some excellent packing kept up the men's challenge. Led by a superb run by 54-year-old Keith Dowson, closely followed by Lee Lintern, the men finished fifth on the day so that the combined team was fourth.

The great news is that, after three races, the women, combined and men's teams are all 2nd in the standings. There was no junior race, but fine veteran performances by Heather (2nd W45), Jim Fitzmaurice (2nd M75), James Graham (2nd M60) and Pauline (3rd W50). In all, 29 SAC runners turned out. The full SAC results were:

JacquiGraceRichard

Four Sevenoaks AC runners tackled the fourth match of the Kent Cross Country League at Danson Park, Bexleyheath on 25th November. Ollie Brownridge kept up his excellent form in the U13 boys race with 13th place, while Richard Pitcairn-Knowles was 5th in the M70 race - and first M80. Organiser James Graham was in attendance even though there was no senior men's event on the day. Jacqui O'Reilly had another good run in 23rd in the women's race, and was this time supported by Grace Manzotti, competing in the league for the first time, in 110th. The two comprised the largest SAC contingent in the senior women's for many years!

Start

Allan Lee won the second match of the Kent Fitness League 2017/18 season on Sunday 12th November at Swanley Park as 37 Sevenoaks AC runners completed the event. Boosted also by James Mason in fifth and Darrell Smith seventh (1st M50), the SAC men were second on the day.

Women's Team

Meanwhile a fantastic turnout by the SAC women's team made up for missing Jacqui O'Reilly with sixth place, thanks especially to scorers Heather Fitzmaurice, Vanessa Gilmartin, Pauline Dalton and Jane Morgan. This meant that the combined team was second for the second match in a row

Combined Team

After two matches, the SAC men's team lies second, the women fourth and the combined team second.

Sevenoaks AC was also well represented in the junior races. Tabitha Elcock-Haskins was 6th, Madeline Fitzmaurice 7th and Sophie Ashlee 10th in the under-11 girls, Tristan Page 3rd and Teddy Fitzmaurice 13th in the under-11 boys, and Harvey Taylor 5th in the under-14 boys.
