DMVAC succeed second time round in the Surrey Cross Country League
(Match report from Nick Hodges) Dorking were out in force for the final Surrey league cross country fixture at the weekend at Lloyd Park, Croydon. Going into the race we were 3rd overall with only about 50 points separating the top 3 clubs, with top 2 teams being Stragglers and Dulwich. The course was muddy and under water in places as usual, but that did not prevent everyone putting their all into the race. We had 4 in the top 10 which was amazing, including Nick Hodges, Simon Beardsall, Ed Clements and Fraser Dawson. After the race the team were in high spirits and confident on their strong runs. I have never seen such great team spirit and the whole atmosphere was amazing. You all deserve credit in making that strong team bond. We came 2nd on the day, 22 points behind 1st Stragglers and 56 points ahead of 3rd Dulwich. This result has secured the teams promotion to Division 1, with the final league position of 2nd behind Stragglers.
