The standings show Chris Colwell to be currently in the lead, but there are 14 Read More …

Apologies for the delay in publishing the final hCALF results (they’re there now, click on “hCALF2024” in “STANDINGS”), but holidays and orther domestic matters have kept me away from the spreadheets. In the regularity standings (hCOW Table.pdf) Colin Smith has come out comfortably on top. Although Colin was not the quickest (see the handicap history in Handicap Table.pdf) he kept to his tempo around the Belfast parks.

Yesterday evening we drew a close to our WEE Series 🙁 Before we congratulate our series winners, we must thank the volunteers who have provided some great evenings out for us. 👏Firstly, Alan Brett who coordinated all four events in June. Yes four, because even though we had to cancel Antrim Castle Gardens, we couldn’t completely cancel it for the mass of local Primary School kids who had signed up. So, planner Chloe Reed and her dad Billy re-planned the short course, and along with the help of a few others (Michael, Steph and Ric), Alan managed to keep the Read More …
