Results for Novice Cup, Galashiels Shield and Cole Land Cup

Report from Handicapper James Turner:

The weather was definitely less crap than we feared, although the gusty Nor-wester made things a bit grunty!

Two people went under their handicaps — with Paul Cunningham winning the Novice Cup after taking nearly a minute off his forecast time. Emma Jackson was not too far back, 31 seconds under her handicap.

The third finisher, and winner of the Galashiels Trophy for first over the line amongst club members who have previously won a Club trophy, was the impressive Gerard Gordon, back in 2020 form with his first-ever time under 20 minutes on this course, and just 11 seconds off his handicap.

Overall, maybe a slightly disappointing turnout but many thanks to everyone who raced, supported and volunteered.
