KFL Blean Woods, Rough Common - 17th February 2013

A strong SAC men's team took second place and our women's team fifth, as 19 Sevenoaks runners turned out for the final match of the 2012/13 Kent Fitness League at Rough Common near Canterbury. Allan Lee (2nd) and David Lee (5th) both had excellent runs to lead the team home.

The combined team were second on the day and more importantly the women's team consolidated their hold on the series silver. The four female scorers from all seven matches, Heather Fitzmaurice, Pauline Dalton, Cath Linney and Sally Shewell and their team captain Happy Fisher are all in the picture above (taken at Fowlmead - click on it for full height). The final series postions for the men and the combined team were eighth and seventh respectively.

In the individual series, Heather was fourth woman and second W35, Pauline sixth and first W45, Jim Fitzmaurice (also in the picture) first M70, and Geoff Vine fifth M60 (2nd M65). Our leading man was Chris Desmond in 23rd and Chris was also 9th M40, although his recent ascent to M50 saved the team 73 places on the day!

Deal Half Marathon - 10th February 2013

The Deal Half on 10 February was a GP event and hosted the county championship this year. The venue, Fowlmead Country Park, is not a particular favourite with SAC runners, which may have partly explained the relatively low turnout of just four runners from the club. James McGuigan broke ninety minutes to lead the SAC contingent home, while Richard Pitcairn-Knowles continued his preparations for the London with an M80 club record for the half.

The SAC results were as follows:

In the individual standings SAC's two ever-present runners in the series were our leaders, with Joe Parsons 31st overall and Andy Evans 16th veteran.

Canterbury 10 - 29th January 2013

Twelve SAC runners contested the Canterbury 10 Kent Championships and Grand Prix race on 27 January where Chris Desmond was our first finisher. Club GP winner from 2012 Pauline Dalton was a couple of minutes ahead of runner-up Geoff Vine, but Geoff's WMA score was better: 78.70 to 77.20. However, Chris Desmond beat them both with 78.98. Both Geoff and Pauline were fourth in their age categories, although one of the first three M60s may not have been contesting the Kent Championships (says Geoff).

KFL Minnis Bay, Birchington - 6th January 2013

Despite eight SAC runners contesting the 7.7 mile Kent Championships the previous afternoon, Sevenoaks fielded two full teams, fourteen runners in all, at the far end of Kent for the KFL match at Minnis Bay the following morning. Sevenoaks' star trio of Heather Fitzmaurice, Cath Linney and Pauline Dalton were our leading finishers, all three among the top ten women. Consequently, the women's team finished second on the day and they stay comfortably second in the standings with just one race to go.

With no-one mad enough to run on both days, the men's team was depleted to the extent that 65-year-old Geoff Vine was our first finisher, with the team seventeenth on the day. This led to the combined team also finishing seventeenth. In the standings, the men are now ninth and the combined team eighth.

The final match (Match 7) is at Blean Woods, Rough Common, Canterbury on Sunday 17th February.

The SAC results were as follows:

KFL Nurstead Court, Meopham - 23rd December 2012

Twenty-four SAC runners tackled the heavy mud at Nurstead Court for the fifth match of the Kent Fitness League on 23 December. Once again, a heroic effort from Sally Shewell was required to complete the women's scoring in the absence of one of Sevenoaks' star trio - in this case Pauline Dalton. Heather Fitzmaurice, followed by Cath Linney, led the team home to fourth place on the day. The tough going also took its toll on the men's team. With several top runners missing and Lee Cooper having to drop out with achilles trouble, Chris Desmond led the men's and combined teams to ninth on the day. After five of the seven matches the Sevenoaks women are still clear in second place with the men's and combined teams sixth.

Match 6 is at the equally challenging course at Minnis Bay on Sunday 6th January.

KCAA Veterans Cross Country Championships, Tunbridge Wells - 15th December 2012

James Beeston led Sevenoaks M40s to a superb second place at the Kent Vets XC Champs on 15 December. Beeston was closely followed by Andrew Mead and Chris Desmond - in this event for the last time as an M40 - with James Wright completing the scorers and Anthony Waldron and Andy Evans backing them up.

In contrast, the M60s missed out on a silver medal when first SAC finisher Geoff Vine was DQ'd, suspectedly for an accidental contact with another athlete en route. Fellow top 12 finishers Geoff Kitchener and Lyndon Collins consequently missed out on receiving the team medals they had become accustomed to from previous years.

However, Richard Pitcairn-Knowles pipped Ron Denney for the individual M70 bronze as the two were first and second M75s.

KFL Knole Park - 21st October 2012

Over 400 runners completed the first Kent Fitness League Cross Country race of the 2012/13 season at Knole Park, seamlessly organised by Rob Carr and his team of top quality marshalls. Despite the volume of SAC personpower dedicated to organisational roles, Sevenoaks fielded no less than 29 runners and were rewarded with second place for the women's team, third for the men's and second for the combined team.

David Lee was our best-placed finisher in fifth place, while close packing in the top twelve by Pauline Dalton, Cath Linney and Heather Fitzmaurice led to the brilliant women's team result.

Weald 10k - 2nd September 2012

David Lee was third, Keith Brown, Keith Dowson and Chris Desmond were 2nd, 3rd and 4th M40s and Lyndon Collins was 2nd M60 as 23 SAC runners contested the Weald 10k on 2nd September. Lee was with the leader at 6k then had to battle back to draw level at 8k in an attempt to win the race that may have cost him second place. Collins showed his class in a trademark display of shirtlessness, while hopefully forty-nine-and-a-half-year-olds Dowson and Desmond will be back next year to clean up in the M50s!

KXCL Parkwood School, Swanley/KFL Blean Woods, Rough Common - 11th and 19th February 2012

The final matches in our two county cross-country leagues took place this February. In the more elite Kent League, three SAC runners contested the last event of the 2011/12 season at Parkwood School in Swanley. Unusually for this series, David Lee wasn't our leading runner as Allan Lee was Sevenoaks' first finisher in 21st. Once again, only competitors in the senior men's category turned out for SAC, and in insufficient numbers to score as a team.

The SAC results at Parkwood were as follows:

KXCL Parkwood School, Swanley - 11/02/2012

Place	Time	Name	Team	Category	RaceNo	Place
21	31'52	LEE Allan	Sevenoaks AC	Senior Men	606	21
30	32'58	LEE David	Sevenoaks AC	Senior Men	607	30
117	41'48	EVANS Andy	Sevenoaks AC	MV40	760	117

The final KFL race at Blean Woods attracted a full men's team but only one woman in the ten SAC attendees. Allan Lee won the race, but doesn't score for us because the KFL classes him as an elite runner. That left David Lee as our first scoring runner in seventh, with Sally Shewell in 26th comprising our female team. Consequently, on the day the SAC women were 18th, with the men 12th and the combined team 13th. After the full programme of seven races, the women finished eighth and the combined team and men finished tenth.

In the individual league positions, David Lee finished fifth man overall, while Lyndon Collins and Geoff Kitchener were third and fourth M60 respectively. Sally was second W50 and fifth W45.
