LONGWOOD HARRIERS A.C.
CASTLE HILL POINT TO POINT and JUNIOR HANDICAP RACES 11th OCTOBER 2014 - Results
Conditions were calm and fine with bright sunshine. The marauding horse needed controlling on the top field and affected some Senior runners. Niall got lost! (But it was his first time in the senior race). Good turn out but more would be better! First try of new Juniors course which avoids the roads and steepest part of the course. Thanks to those who turned out to run, to those who were awarded medals and to all who supported the event
