MARSHALS
Our appeal for marshals for our home cross-country fixtures in February and
March met with a good response – many thanks to all those who have
volunteered. On the basis of “striking while the iron is hot” we’ll put in
an early reminder for helpers for our Half Marathon on Sunday 6th May and
our 10k on Sunday 17th June. Put the dates in your diaries! If you’re
planning to run rather than help, see entry details below.
SURREY LADIES LEAGUE – CAMERA?
One of the races many of you have offered to help at is the Surrey Ladies
League on Saturday 10th February. Here’s an extra request: does anyone have
a video camera or similar kit we could use to record the finish of the two
senior races as a backup to the normal number recording?
INTER-CLUB 5 miles Saturday 20th January in Richmond Park (Roehampton Gate)
This is the Bank of England’s race, starting and finishing just inside
Roehampton Gate. No three-line whips for this one, but all are welcome. It
incorporates a match between ourselves and Ealing Southall and Middlesex AC
for the Hec Petersen Trophy. The race HQ is the Bank’s Sports Ground in Bank
Lane, a short distance from the Park. Register on the day.
SOUTH OF ENGLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS
These are being held at Stanmer Park, Brighton on Saturday 27th January.
Entries are closed. Good luck to all those taking part.
NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB
Our next mob match is at home in Richmond Park against Orion Harriers on
Saturday 3rd February. We have home advantage but we can be sure that Orion
will bring a sizeable mob over from Essex to try to wrest the Harold Lee Cup
away from us. As ever with mob matches we need all the runners we can get –
the more we have on the starting line, the better our chances of hanging on
to the Cup. It’s 7.5 miles, starting at 2.30pm from our usual place opposite
Pembroke Lodge. Register on the day – at the clubhouse if possible,
otherwise at the start.
SURREY LEAGUES – 10th FEBRUARY
The fourth and final Surrey League races for men and women both take place
on Saturday 10th February. The men are on Wimbledon Common, juniors at
2.30pm, seniors at 3pm. More details of the venue and course to follow.
We are the hosts for the Ladies League event in Richmond Park. There are
four races – senior division 2 at 11am, under 15s/under 17s at 12 noon,
under 13s at 12.30pm and senior division 1 at 1pm. We have been asked to
keep clear of Pembroke Lodge as far as possible and so we have devised a new
course starting and finishing near Sheen crossroads (close to the road
leading up to White Lodge). Use public transport if you can, but If you’re
coming by car, please do not park at Pembroke Lodge. Sheen Gate and
Roehampton Gate are the closest to the start, or there is Robin Hood Gate
and the Pen Ponds car park (though the latter has no toilets). Remember
there is now a 20p charge at most of the toilets in the Park. More details
of the course will follow.
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN…
…for our Half Marathon on May 6th - here:
…and our 10k on June 17th - here:.
THAMES TOWPATH 10 miles Sunday 4th April at Chiswick
This is always a popular event and is the opening race in our 2018 Road
Grand Prix. Details:.
HON SECRETARY
We’re sorry to report that our Hon Sec Wyn Williams has been obliged to
stand down with immediate effect owing to ill-health. Gordon Whitson has
agreed to step into Wyn’s shoes.
QUIZ NIGHT
We’re hoping to hold a Quiz Night in the clubhouse on Saturday 3rd March.
All are welcome, make up your own team of four or we’ll find a team for you.
£10 per head including fish and chip supper (or veggie alternative). Let us
know if you’re coming.
THAMES EVENTS
Our friends at Thames Hare & Hounds have asked us to let you know about a
couple of events they organise:
1. The Dash For The Splash - 25 February 2018. Our popular 'brook-themed'
10k is back for a fifth time. Described as a 'must do race if you're in SW
London', we'd love to have a good turnout from Ranelagh and there's a good
team prize up for grabs this year as well. Full details and entries
2. A reminder that we run a monthly "Second Sunday 5 race" from our
clubhouse. It's proving to be a popular event and last month we had around
120 runners. It's just £3 for club members to enter and is a nice low key
event - to do on its own or for a bit of faced pace running as part of those
marathon long runs. Full details:. Our next
runs are on 11 February, 11 March and 8 April.
TUESDAY NIGHT SOCIALS
Don’t forget that we meet for a casual drink after training on the first
Tuesday of each month. Venue is upstairs at the Roebuck on Richmond Hill.
All welcome.

LONDON MARATHON SPONSORSHIP
Julia Bailey and Jake Waldron write:
“Today was sadly our niece's funeral and we are running London and raising
money for a charity which have helped our family over this hard Christmas
and difficult time. Here is our page:. Here's our story, we
would appreciate any donation big or small, it would help so much!
On Saturday 2nd December at 10:27am our beautiful baby niece Nell Bailey was
born, at 37 weeks. Sadly, she had no life in her little body because she was
desperately unwell with brain complications. Both Jake and I love to run so
we will be running the London Marathon for the first time, and will be
running in memory of our beautiful niece Nell and will be raising as much as
we can for a wonderful charity SANDS, who have given such incredible support
to our family over this hard time. Today, January 16th 2018 was a beautiful
day and we said our goodbyes to beautiful Nell. We now need to do our part
and raise funds for SANDS so they can continue to support families like
ours. Please donate generously as every penny counts!”

WHAT’S HAPPENED
***************
MIDDLESEX CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 6th January at Berkeley
Fields, Greenford
Phil Aiken reports:
Ever since Izzy Atkins won the Under 13 title at Alexandra Palace three
years ago, the focus of our attention at the Middlesex Championships has
been the junior races. 2018 would be no different. Last year, Freya Thomson
was 2nd and Alice Patterson 8th in the Under 17 race, with Izzy 3rd in the
Under 15s. Having moved up an age group, Izzy would be joining Freya and
Alice. As would Emily Coulson.
The Under 17 and Under 20 Women’s races are run at the same time, the
younger age group distinguished by a small 17 worn on their back. It was far
easier to distinguish the blue Ranelagh shirts, well to the fore early on in
the race, Freya leading not just the Ranelagh quartet, but the entire race.
It was a lead she wouldn’t relinquish, going on to better last year’s
position and claim the Middlesex Under 17 title with a 14 second margin.
Behind, Izzy had been contesting for 3rd, but gradually slipped back to
finish one spot outside the medals.
Two in, one more needed to complete the scoring team. It wasn’t to be long,
half a minute, a couple of places, before Alice arrived, securing the
Middlesex team title to go with Freya’s individual one. A strong finish saw
Emily Coulson finish 11th. More success was to come Ranelagh’s way with all
four athletes included in the Middlesex Under 17 Women’s squad for the UK
Inter Counties Cross Country in Loughborough in March.
Earlier, the Under 15 Girls’ race provided an emphatic demonstration of the
junior talent assembled by Phil Kissi, Blackheath & Bromley comfortably
taking the team title, placing 1st, 2nd and 4th. A little further down, in
14th, Lexi Keech was the lone Ranelagh representative.
A full Middlesex complement in the Senior race was assured when Sally
Bamford arrived with a quarter of an hour to spare. Putting on her number,
she proclaimed she would be last, but it would take another 12 minutes after
she finished for the remaining 20 athletes to finish. Leading the charge for
Ranelagh was Becky Northmore, her 34th spot almost matching that of last
year. But it was behind Becky, just outside the top 50, where the day’s real
battle lay, Marianne Malam hanging on to resist Niamh Holt’s charge.
With six in the first 16, the team honours went to London Heathside, one of
only 10 clubs to complete a scoring team. But Ranelagh were one of those
ten.”
On the men’s side our only representative in the senior race was Marcus
Atkins, Izzy and Greg’s dad. Greg himself was only five seconds away from a
medal in the under 20s race where he finished 4th. In the under 17 men Alice
Patterson’s brother Jacob finished 14th.
After a night’s rest, round two of the County Championship weekend would see
the action take place amongst the vines of Denbies Wine Estate.
SURREY CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 6th January at Denbies, Dorking
Phil Aiken reports on the women’s race:
“Third in 2015. Second in 2016. First in 2017. Clearly it was Ranelagh’s
year. But what would 2018 bring?
A look at the entry list would show some of the county’s big hitters were
missing: Phoebe Law, the county champion from 2017 and Katie Bingle were
preparing for their Great Britain appearance at Edinburgh the following
weekend, and Sophie Harris, winner of both Surrey League races this season
in a barely more than 12 months of serious running, being carefully managed
through the congested winter fixture list.
Not that there was a lack of talent on the start line. Phoebe and Katie may
have been absent, but their four remaining teammates from the Surrey team
which took the National Inter Counties title last March were all in
attendance. And it was these four that were to take the top positions.
Sophie Cowper set off like she meant business, but was unable to sustain the
pace as both Izzy Brinsden and Laura Gent first reeled her in and then
forged ahead. Izzy had been part of the victorious Surrey team at the
Southern Inter Counties before Christmas and her form continued into the new
year, taking the county title by seven seconds from Laura. Behind Sophie in
third came Steph McCall, short of training but with her exams now behind
her.
The first green vest of Guildford & Godalming came home fifth. Suzie Monk
has been largely hidden in Loughborough these past months, but a 17:41 at
Bushy Park in late November was an indication of form. Herne Hill may have
seen Chloe Tighe depart for Australia, but another antipodean, Kiwi Georgie
Grgec, has been recruited to take her place. She led home ex-Cambridgeshire
runner, Katy Hedgethorne, who has been plying her trade with Thames Hare &
Hounds since moving to London. Behind the ageless Claire Grima, Thames’s
Victoria Barthelmess edged out Sam Ludlow Taylor, running for Guildford &
Godalming as first claim Serpentine are not affiliated to Surrey.
Pre-race, I’d predicted a win for Thames, with Guildford & Godalming third,
but clearly this was the battle for gold. A mere seven seconds were to
separate the remaining scorers from both clubs, with Guildford & Godalming
triumphing by just three points.
In what proved to be a relatively close battle for the team prizes, South
London claimed the final spot on the podium, ahead of a resurgent Hercules
Wimbledon and the ever-dependable Herne Hill Harriers.
And what did 2018 bring Ranelagh? The seven entrants would have seen
Ranelagh join in the team battle. But that became five starters, then three
finishers and the defence of the County title fizzled out rather tamely,
though Laura Blazey put in a strong showing, bagging 13th spot. Suzy
Whatmough was a dozen places behind with Ria Woodfield in the top 60.
The sequence starts again next year, right?”
Men’s races:
The main comment from most runners and officials was that it was ******
cold! A freezing wind direct from the Arctic swept across the shelterless
slopes of Denbies Vineyard. The course had been amended slightly since the
last championships here in order to omit dangerous corners but it still
provided a stern test to the runners, who at least had the opportunity to
warm up a bit during their races. The conditions suited some. In the senior
men’s race Nick Impey led the way for Ranelagh and took some impressive
scalps on his way to 26th place. Steve Whitehead returned from injury with
48th and there was another good performance from Jonathan Smith in 51st.
Newcomer Ross McDonald, Richard Kimber and Dave Lawley completed the scoring
six. We finished 8th team. We were well represented in the junior events by
Tom Armstrong and Euan Sinclair in the Under 15 boys, and Finlay Sinclair in
the Under 13s.
SURREY LADIES LEAGUE DIVISION 1 Saturday 13th January on Wimbledon Common
Women’s team manager Phil Aiken’s report:
“The Surrey League moves ever closer to Richmond Park. Thames, Hercules and
the Windmilers have staged a number of races over the years but this is the
first time I can recall Belgrave playing host, certainly to one of the 5
mile league races. And the significance lies in the course. Aside from the
loop around the windmill, it is absolutely flat and on a good surface. More
trail running than cross country, this has been the scene of my fastest
cross country races. A voice at the end proclaimed it boring, complaining
about the absence of mud. It was certainly a very different course to that
experienced at Dorking less than a week before.
Sophie Harris had won the opening two races and, much to Belgravian Will
Cockerell’s excitement on the Surrey League facebook page, was attempting to
become the first woman for 30 years to win the first three races of the
season. The result was never in doubt, Sophie finishing over a minute clear
of second place. In the previous two races, that was Clapham’s Steph Davis.
Today it would again be a Clapham Chaser, second claimer Lucy Reid. Lucy
still retains her Kent eligibility and was second in the Kent championships
a week ago. Reprising their close battle from Denbies, Herne Hill’s Georgie
Grgec edged out Katy Hegethorne of Thames.
With Clapham and Thames tied at the top of the table, the call went out for
reinforcements. For Thames Hare & Hounds, who host the varsity Cross Country
race, that means utilising Hare & Hounds connections at both Oxford and
Cambridge, Sarah Lovewell trailed her fellow former Cambridge student over
the line but, as both are second claim, Sarah was relegated to the B team.
Saron Haileselase found conditions to her liking, finishing strongly to
claim her highest ever finishing position. In contrast, Izzy Brinsden was
more at home at Denbies. Her 7th place finish today won’t alter the fact
that she’s the County champion. Claire Grima added another top 10 finish to
her collection, before it became Oxford’s turn to provide another Thames
finisher, Bethanie Murray. Lucie Custance struck back for Clapham but
current Cambridge student Ruby Woolfe and former Edinburgh Hare & Hound
Victoria Barthelmess gave Thames another two scorers. On the day, Thames
would triumph with a not inconsiderable lead of 28 points going into the
final fixture.
Laura Blazey was again the first Ranelagh home, pushed down to 18th by the
top-of-the-table shenanigans being fought out in front. She was almost
pushed down another another spot by sometime-training partner, Eileen
Brandley of Hercules, but prevailed by four seconds. Cordy Parker, showing
Ranelagh can also play the second claim card, was half a minute back in
23rd, claiming the scalp of Mara Yamauchi in the process, though it’s fair
to say that Mara isn’t in 2:23 marathon shape these days. A former Oxford
student, there are no prizes for guessing who Mara ran for. Suzy Whatmough,
33rd, and Becky Curtis-Hall, 48th, and Fanny Vein, 65th, completed the
scoring A team.
Jo Billings made a welcome return from Achilles issues. Julia Bailey ducked
under 100 by the narrowest of margins, Becky Northmore, Bonnie Morgan and
Wiebke Kortum brought the B team home in 22nd (7th among B teams).
Eight more Ranelagh vests were to cross the line, led by Eugénie McLachlan.
Lara Werrett followed before Niamh Holt well and truly turned the tables on
Marianne Malam after their Middlesex battle the week before. Rachel Revett,
Clare Day and Karen Harbert, appearing without their daughters for the first
time, and Tamsin Burland completed the Ranelagh effort.
Unlike Thames and Clapham, the other clubs were more solid than strong, an
exception being Hercules, who were neither. Ranelagh’s points total
continues to creep up, but was still good for 6th on the day, and just
enough to hold onto 5th overall. With a 56 point cushion, South London
should hold off Belgrave for third, but the next four – Belgrave, Ranelagh,
Herne Hill and Hercules are separated by just 45 points. At the bottom there
is an intriguing six-team battle for survival in Division 1, with 151 points
separating the bottom six.
There was another Guildford & Godalming procession in Division 2. Hannah
Irwin matched Sophie Harris’s feat of three wins out of three as the Gs
placed five in the first six. With a total after three races of just 54
points, promotion is all but assured, there being a gap of 545 points back
to fourth place. The real question is, with a couple of runners missing, can
they finish the season with less than 100 points.
We’ll find out in Richmond Park on February 10th. And if anyone can spare
some time that day to help out, it will be greatly appreciated.”
In the combined U17 and U15 race Izzy, Emily and Lexi all ran well in the
top third of the field.
SURREY LEAGUE DIVISION 1 Saturday 13th January at Coulsdon
Phil Killingley reports:
“It always feels chillier on top of Farthing Downs - even with relatively
mild temperatures the wind kept us from feeling comfortable at the start.
Comfort levels went downhill from there on as we raced off on the famous
Coulsdon Camber into the wind.
Richard Gregory was our first scorer in 12th, with an excellent effort that
saw an age graded pb of 84.6%. Carl Assmundson had a pleasing run to come
21st (pb also of 80.2%) - he went out hard and after 3km passed an unfit Jon
Pepper (35th), which provided motivation not to look back. Jon provided
motivation for Nick Impey too (pb 81.2%), who nearly snaffled him on the
line. In 36th Nick benefited from remembering his spikes this time. Jordan
Mungovan was 5th home in 61st (pb 77.2%), 50 seconds later - a great result
- with Carl Selya Hammer, Marc Leyshon and Peter Haarer securing 70th, 76th
and 77th, not long after. Carl pb'ed too with 79.3%, surviving a fast start
and a twisted spike (really!). Then a well-paced Ted Mockett stormed through
in 82nd and was nearly caught by Steve Whitehead in 83rd to finish off the
scoring as anchorman extraordinaire - well returned after a longish autumn
injury. I can testify to Steve's barnstorming hill climbs - he was going
about twice my pace up the long one!
There was an upsetting of the old order, with Eirin McDaid and Captain
Killingley failing to make the scoring ten for the first time ever.
Excellent runs meant that the B team packed in behind them - on form Jon
Smith was 6 seconds behind Phil - 13th scorer a massive improvement on his
20th last time. A special mention also for David Ready for his superb run
(71.9% pb). Dave Lawley was superb with an age graded 76.1% pb. Marc Snaith
snatched anchorman for the Bs, appearing to slow significantly in the final
stages to ensure the trophy was his...”
Phil adds: “Here’s Jon Smith's report from the back of the pack (actually
not, as he was 6 seconds behind me...)”
"The B teamers were tightly packed as they made their way up the long
cambering hill for the first time. Marc Snaith, picking up where he left off
at Mitcham, was off to a flyer and on Captain Phil’s tail. Meanwhile Dave
Lawley, Dave Ready, James Whistler, Al Whatmough and Mark Herbert were all
no doubt slightly shocked to find themselves running along with Eirin, who
looked like he was out for a jog with his ladies football team. Graham Brook
was also well in the mix at this point whilst Jonathan Smith and Rick Jenner
had started at a slightly more cautious pace. On the back straight Al,
already struggling with dodgy shins, managed to find an unfortunate pot hole
which slowed him up a little. By subsequent accounts (just one account
really) Eirin’s slow pace was because he had done something similar. To
prove it he provided a photo after the race suggesting his ankle had swollen
up and gone red. This looked suspiciously like a red skittle had fallen into
his sock and melted.
As the second lap geared up Marc’s quick start started to catch up with him
and he lost ground on Phil. Meanwhile Graham had gone off in pursuit of the
captain. Jonathan had started moving up through the field and took Dave with
him, but not before a Herne Hill Harrier had stacked it and nearly taken
both of them out in one go. As they went up the hill for the second time
Marc was caught and Graham was in their sights. By this point Eirin had
already started to make his move and was now trying to hunt down the A Team
scorers. Further back Herbie and Dave R could see Snaithy 50 metres ahead
and were sat in a pack of 4-5 runners that included David Grima of Hercules,
Jimmy Whistler wasn’t too far back and Rick had overtaken Al.
Rick and Jimmy then proceeded to have a battle royale, Rick taking Jimmy in
the woods before Jimmy came back and took him again in the open. On the back
straight Jon caught Graham and was perplexed to see that the next person in
the firing line was Phil. He made a huge effort to get close enough for a
rare scalp but Phil was too strong down the finishing straight. Rick and
Jimmy managed to overtake Marc. Dave L got right on to Graham’s heels but
the big finish would come from the other David, who decided to take on one
of the club’s best sprint finishers in the form of Herbie and managed to
pull it off.
Meanwhile Rick managed to get himself ahead of Marc who held on to secure
the B team anchorman trophy ahead of Al. A cracking race with only around 90
seconds separating 11th to 20th."
Phil K again:
“For other teams, Clapham’s Andy Maud is reportedly unfit but it didn’t stop
him winning here. Kent pipped Hercules to the match win, and are now just 12
points behind Hercules with a race to go. Thames were next and Ranelagh in
fourth. That should have been enough to see us clear of relegation but
unfortunately Clapham absolutely nailed it and were only 4 points behind us
in 5th. It was Belgrave and SLH who slipped up, and so we leapfrog the
latter and get much closer to the former. (Herne Hill also tanked, but they
had done better in previous fixtures) So it'll go down to the wire, with 167
points separating 5th to 8th. This is not dissimilar to 2014 when the exact
same four clubs were fighting to see who got the last relegation spot, that
time only 35 points apart.
In the B teams table, we had a great result, but Hercules pulled it out with
a really strong A and B team, so we slip to third. Holding onto 3rd would
be a good result for the last fixture, with Clapham and then Thames not far
behind. A big watch-out as well for next year. Guildford and Godalming are
FLYING at the top of Div 2, having won 2 fixtures with fewer than 100
points. They look to defy the usual status of promotees as yo-yo clubs.
Thanks as ever to race legends Ken and Alan, and also to our hardy
supporters shouting us on. Another great result.”
Euan and Finlay Sinclair ran well once again in the junior race.
FRANCKEISS CUP RUNNERS’ ROWING RACE Sunday 14th January at The Skiff Club,
Teddington
We had hoped to put out a crew to contest the Franckeiss Cup this year, but
unluckily injuries prevented it. The trophy was donated back in 1929 by
Ranelagh member R.H. Franckeiss. Paul Gregory reports:
“The annual races were held between 26.2 RRC, Hercules Wimbledon AC, The
Stragglers, Thames Hare and Hounds and Wimbledon Windmilers, over a short
sprint course, the length of Trowlock Island.
Hercules Wimbledon retained the Franckeiss Cup for the men’s doubles in a
very close race with Thames Hare and Hounds until the final moments, and
also regained the mixed doubles. 26.2 RRC retained the ladies doubles cup
contesting the race with the new club taking part, Wimbledon Windmilers.
That club entered four crews in men’s, ladies’ and mixed doubles, and were a
close second in three heats and finals, in one of which was set the fastest
time of the day. This was a great result for crews who had not raced before
in Thames skiffs. Splendid close racing, enjoyed by all taking part.”
