And so another summer league season kicked off at Dulwich Park with a great morning and lots of fun had by all I think its fair to say.
We had a really good turn out of nearly 20 serpies who all took part in the 10K. The woman set the tone for the season taking the first four places- Valerie Metcalfe, Karen Hancock, Sarah Newton and Penny Thorn storming in. Eoin O'Colgain and Andy Davies were 2nd and 3rd in the mens race, a really great start.
Rory MacFarlane was the only serpie in the tenderfoot race and had a great run, coming in second just milliseconds behind the winner. A quick coaching session from mum should redress that for the next race!!
And then the infamous relays. Again, everyone was really enthusiastic about doing them which was great- we managed to get a womens and mens team and were just short of enough for a further team- maybe next time. The relays were fiercly fought, each club trying to outcheer the other. The women came second and the men fourth (ok, it was out of 4, but the enthusiam was just the same).
The trophies for last year were given out- Keith Evans, Tony Leppard, Sarah Newton, Rory Macfarlane, Alex Slade and Ellen Hindley all won trophies for their age categories. so if you come along regularly, you too might be the proud owner of a superkitsch blue trophy.
Everyone said how much they'd enjoyed the morning, it was great fun, low key but with the running being taken seriously, as you wished.
The next race is 3rd July at Metros in Harrow. This is always renowned as a hot day so come along and give it a try. All standards welcome, just come with your Serpie shirt and

Race organised by Metros at Harrow

Summer League 10k (04 Jun 2006)

Held at Metros - Headstone Lane Rec, Harrow

Summer League 10k (01 Jun 2008)

The first of our four races in this series took place in Dulwich Sunday. TIt was a 10K course which was won in fine style by Dave McGregor in 36.40. Andrew Davies and Abdulrashid Abdi also finished in the top six, all under 38 minutes. Taking things in a more gentlemanly style, as is his wont, was Mr Keith Evans, who later picked up yet another trophy to pile on his mantlepiece for the 2007 series.

For the ladies, Serpentine took 3 out of the first four places, with Holly Wilkinson winning in 40.07 and Christine Lusch and Angie Palin finishing in third and fourth place respectively.

The relays saw some very close racing in the mens race, thrilling the crowd. In the B relay, Andrew Davies' daughter Eloise debuted at the 400m distance (approximately) and turned in a fine performance and will no doubt give her father a run for his money in the near future
