SLH Mob Match 4 December 2022 No-one knows the date of the earliest inter-club run between Blackheath & Bromley Harriers AC, or Peckham AAC as they were then known, and South London Harriers. With Blackheath tracing their roots to 1869, and SLH forming a breakaway from them in December 1871, possibly as a result of a dispute over handicapping, (a vital part of early athletics competition), there is evidence suggesting these two clubs, then both based in Peckham, encouraged members from the other club to their weekend training runs as early as the autumn of 1872. The Blackheath history reports the first official run between the Clubs was December 1873, whilst the SLH later reported it was on November 14th 1874. The latter event was from SLH headquarters, then not in Coulsdon, and ‘the number of runners was the largest that had ever turned out for a cross-country run’, so the home side’s Gazette reported in 1912. Perhaps the first year, it was training, and the following year it turned competitive…. Download the full copy of the commemorative booklet celebrating the 100th match against SLH Photos here... We lost to South London again... only scored 11 a-side. Bearing in mind we have 800 members it was a very poor turnout from the club, SLH had 22. Conditions were good, fresh, no sun, not much mud - course was modified at the last minute due to a number of downed trees that had not been cleared in the top part of Boundary Woods. So three laps of the lower park still resulted in seven & half miles.   Race Result Club   Time               1 CORNEILLE Darren BBHAC   49:02               2 COOPER Steve BBHAC   50:55               3 HOUGH Steve BBHAC   52:32                                         Race Result Women Club Pos Time               1 KEENE Jessica BBHAC 7 53:44               2 PEARSON Ashley BBHAC 12 56:19               3 CHAN Shun-Lai SLH 29 1:10:04                                         Blackheath & Bromley HAC vs South London Harriers                 scoring 11-a-side Points                                           1 South London Harriers 131   Nicholls Cup             2 BBHAC 137                                             Blackheath & Bromley 7½ mile Championship                 1 CORNEILLE Darren     Davis Cup             2 COOPER Steve                     3 HOUGH Steve                                               Blackheath & Bromley 7½ mile Championship Women               1 KEENE Jessica     53:44               2 PEARSON Ashley     56:19                                                                 BBHAC first veteran                     1 CORNEILLE Darren Ponsford Pewter                                         BBHAC Handicap Pos   Hcp time               1 PEARSON Ashley 12   42:59   Scotting Salver           2 PHELAN Jim 32   44:45               3 KEENE Jessica 7   46:24                                         Bennett Cup Leaders after 3 events   Points               1 HOUGH Steve     63               2 ARCURI Luigi     60               3 PAIRMAN Steve     59               4 STOCKS Adrian     54               5= KEENE Jessica (L)     49               5= SCOTT Ian     49               7 CORNEILLE Darren     47               8 PIKE Chris     43               9 MEERS Jason     35               10= PEARSON Ashley (L)     30               10= LILLEY David     30               10= MIDDLETON Alex     30                           Mob Match                     BBHAC SLH         pos no name club age hcp b pts pos pos hcp time slh bpts bpt tot time 1 33 CORNEILLE Darren BBHAC 42 00:00 24 1 . 49:02 23 47 49:02 2 30 COOPER Steve BBHAC 50 03:40 0 2 . 47:15 25 25 50:55 3 32 HOUGH Steve BBHAC 49 01:10 43 3 . 51:22 20 63 52:32 4 38 SCOTT Ian BBHAC 46 02:40 28 4 . 50:12 21 49 52:52 5 121 OGDEN David SLH . . . . 5 .     53:25 6 108 MAKKAR Vikram SLH . . . . 6 .     53:38 7 39 KEENE Jessica (L) BBHAC 23 07:20 21 7 . 46:24 28 49 53:44 8 101 BOULTER Harry SLH . . . . 8 .     55:08 9 105 GENTRY Ross SLH . . . . 9 .     55:42 10 120 ROWLANDS Toby SLH . . . . 10 .     55:57 11 28 EVENDEN Steve BBHAC 45 08:30 1 11 . 47:39 24 25 56:09 12 40 PEARSON Ashley (L) BBHAC 48 13:20 0 12 . 42:59 30 30 56:19 13 104 CAWOOD Mark SLH . . . . 13 .     56:22 14 116 GREENFIELD Ronnie SLH . . . . 14 .     56:28 15 102 COLLINS Steve SLH . . . . 15 .     57:00 16 111 ENGLEFIELD Gavin SLH . . . . 16 .     57:37 17 106 FREELAND Jamie SLH . . . . 17 .     58:06 18 115 SCARLES Phil SLH . . . . 18 .     58:23 19 107 SIVADHAS Gaj SLH . . . . 19 .     58:49 20 34 MEERS Jason  BBHAC 53 12:10 8 20 . 46:47 27 35 58:57 21 109 SPEED Thomas SLH . . . . 21 .     59:15 22 37 PAIRMAN Steve BBHAC 61 10:10 37 22 . 49:49 22 59 59:59 23 117 CROSSLEY Daniel SLH . . . . 23 .     1:00:15 24 122 MITCHELL Paul SLH . . . . 24 .     1:01:22 25 103 BROWN Peter SLH . . . . 25 .     1:02:27 26 118 LAING Robert SLH . . . . 26 .     1:04:06 27 35 ARCURI Luigi BBHAC 65 12:30 42 27 . 53:03 18 60 1:05:33 28 29 PIKE Chris BBHAC 70 22:30 17 28 . 47:02 26 43 1:09:32 29 119 CHAN Shun-Lai (L) SLH . . . . 29 .     1:10:04 30 113 WILKINS Penny (L) SLH . . . . 30 .     1:10:23 31 112 JENKINSON Anna (L) SLH . . . . 31 .     1:10:41 32 36 PHELAN Jim BBHAC 74 31:10 0 32 . 44:45 29 29 1:15:55 33 31 TURNER John E BBHAC 72 25:10 0 33 . 52:06 19 19 1:17:16 34 110 SAUNDERS Matt SLH . . . . 34 .     DNF 35 114 JAMES Mary (L) SLH . . . . 35 .     DNF
