The first fixture of the New Year will be upon us shortly, with the Sherman Cup (for Men) and Davison Shield (for Women) competition taking place next Saturday, 7 January at Temple Park, South Shields.
This fixture is designed as a test of the overall strength of North East clubs, with five qualifying races in both the Sherman and the Davison. These are:
Morpeth Harriers have held the Sherman Cup for a number of years but have narrowly missed out on the Davison Shield recently on a couple of occasions. As a test of the club’s overall strengths, we’re looking for big turn-outs in all categories – and not just from those who might make top three (other non-scoring runners can push further down results individuals from other clubs). As with all XC, it’s all about the numbers. The course should be shorter than the North Easterns in December and the day’s timings are as for the NEHL. Although it is not part of the NEHL competition, NEHL numbers should be brought and worn. (Replacements are available if forgotten or lost, but at an extra cost.) Let’s aim to get 2023 off to a winning start. Any problems or queries, please contact the club via the website. Other fixtures for the next two months are below.
