SASA Club National at Southampton 31/05/09

The following day was the first of the two Club Nationals to be held at Southampton this year and it has to be said that it was one of the most pleasant races we have had at Southampton for a long time. For once there was a sensible approach to health and safety which made the whole day seem much more relaxed. The course went down the increasingly bumpy middle slope and with a very straight section from the big left hand turn there were some very fast times recorded. Starting with the minis and in the boys groupHarry Deighton won the bronze medal. Starting with the females race, in the Children 1 age group Bella Hathway won the silver medal while in the children 2 group, Hannah Bozier won the gold medal, Chelsea Hardaway the silver medal and Boo Pickup the bronze medal. Hannah also finished third in the overall race. In the males race, William Wheeler won the gold medal in children 1, Peter Davies the bronze medal in Junior 1, Brian Davies the gold medal in the masters with Graham Nayler winning the bronze medal in the same race.
