Match Report:

This was Repton's last cross-country outing of the season and the last of the League matches against stiff opposition. Without Phoebe Walters the girls team ran their best, but in the end Amelia Frase failed to finish, Charlotte and Sarah managed a creditable 39th and 49th respectively, while Sophie and Hannah brought up the rear with a stoic determination. Frank Flight's 32nd place was a good performance, ably supported by Hignett and Bauer and thanks to Hussey, Robinson and Jamison for their dogged support. Back on board the coach and amidst the commiserations, there were congratulations for Charlotte Wright as the captain elect for 2011 and colours awarded to lasses Wright, Slater and Embley and to lads Hignett, Brockway and Jamison for services to cross-country.
