Well the Christmas decorations have been put away and any New Years Eve parties out of the way, but the dreaded Covid still lurking around. So what was the next treat for Elswick Juniors and parents ? Yes you have guessed correctly, Cross Country.
On what was an overcast cold muddy day Elswick juniors yet again donned their Elswick vests with pride,this is what we train for. With the course being on farmland conditions underfoot were quite challenging.

Well done to everyone who ran and supported the juniors.
Thank you to Andrea who brought the tent early and had to run in the seniors, well done.
Thanks to all the officials who turn up to every race no matter what the weather.
Next race is the Sherman Cup/Davison Shield at South Shields 12th February. We want a big turnout for this race as we have a great chance of doing really well. Same NEHL numbers no packs for this race.
