Chris Desmond was second M50 in a new club best of 1:22:16 at the Paddock Wood Half Marathon on 7th April. James Beeston led home the Sevenoaks AC contingent in 48th place.
The PWAC website contained a caveat about the results, however, this is how the SAC results eventually looked on 17th April (NB. Sport Systems still uses pre-2006 grading factors):
