The Orion Mob Match - 23 November 2002

Wet and mild - good conditions for the able...

Ant Draper took over the mantle from an injured Roy Smith as Club Champion over 7 1/2 miles. An incredibly close race right up to closing stages - unfortunately we lost. Congratulations to Orion Harriers.

Photos start here...

This Mob match was a bit more interesting as regards the pattern.

The numbers gave us 100 points advantage. This we held - plus or minus 100 right through to position 70 - and then we sharply lost it. So instead of missing our fast members (who would have given us enough cushion if they were there) it was our ordinary (Wednesday nighters?) around Mike Wade's speed we really missed allowing a huge pack of Orion through between 70 and 80 who took it away from us.
