Another excellent ERR turn-out on what must have been a glorious evening at Combe.
Apparently, Mr Tyrrell's ongoing contract negotiations meant that he was unable to wear club colours (or did he just like posing in his Oxfordshire vest?), so no points scored.
Any jokers played, please let me know.
Update 10/7: apparently Kate played the royal joker.

The 2014 Eynsham results for this annual epic were our best ever, and by some way.
The A team finished a magnificent 3rd place, in 9:58:37, fully 30 minutes better than last year's club record, despite the team manager ignoring his own advice and going the wrong way at one point (but only briefly). This also put us ahead of the likes of such heavyweights as Oxford City, Newbury and Reading.
In fact, another club who shall be nameless (but think of them as Alchester) even accused us of bringing in ringers - jealousy is such a terrible thing...

46 Eynsham finishers out of 362 overall on a very pleasant evening at Bletchingdon.
No jokers that I know of, so please let me know if you played yours.

A decent ERR turnout on a warmish day on a hillyish (is that a word?) and scenic course.
Particular congratulations to Hannah for setting a PB and new club record in finishing 3rd lady overall, to Kate for another Kate Award, as well as Arthur and Tara for their PBs.
I think I've remembered all the jokers that were played, but if not, let me know.

Thanks to all those who helped out or ran in last night's annual ERR handicap race. 56 adult participants beats last year's record number.
Well done to Tess for winning the biggest trophy in the ERR (if not the world) cabinet, and also to Jess and Lisa for such impressive improvements on their handicap times. All the category winners are shown in italics.

The junior results are below. Our electronic timing system (known as Jane) couldn't separate Joe and Alexander, so they both win a prize.

Some spectacular results at Cottisford. Well done to all the ERR category prize winners and PB-setters. Talking of which, have added the PBs I know of, but I'm sure I've missed some, so please let me know if this includes yours.

A marvellous 52 Eynsham Roadrunners braved the monsoon at Charlton, out of 408 finishers overall.
Well done to Hannah for finishing 4th in the ladies' race, in what is the fastest time at Charlton by an ERR lady (our records go back as far as 2001), and also to Mark for finishing 9th in the men's race, with the 2nd fastest time by an ERR man at Charlton.
The positions given are those from the separate men's and women's races.

Almost too many great performances to mention at the White Horse Half. Special mention has to go to Hannan for beating an 11-year-old club record by over 2 minutes, but well done to everyone who made their debut over the distance or set a PB, some of which were by large margins.
As if that wasn't enough, the ERR ladies were 3rd in the overall team competition, and 3rd in the County Championship team competition.
No points are shown for the Short League competitors, as these can change over the course of the year, but they have been added to the current league standings.

Some excellent ERR performances at an unseasonably warm (but just as hilly) Banbury.
Well done to all the category prize winners, even if Katherine didn't actually win a prize for hers.
