Primary Schools Cross Country – Sat 23rd Sept match cancelled

Unfortunately tomorrow’s (23rd September) match has been cancelled.   

Another large sporting event has been placed at the exact time of our races in the field that we use for our course. The two events are not compatible and we have to put the health and safety of the children uppermost in our planning.

We have explored alternative courses but none are suitable.

Information about the remaining matches is here.

Please accept our apologies.
