Whilst most of the country continues to be battered by weather conditions more akin to April or October, the new TACH race last night got a taste of Summers; Dan Summers to be precise! The in-form Westbury Harriers athlete dominated the new race run out of north Bristol last night, as the Harriers continued their success in the summer series with their athletes finishing 1st, 4th (Ken Ham), 5th (Charlie Jones) and 6th (Robin Phillips). Not to be outdone the ladies also won the team prize (as they did last month) with Shona Mackie (2nd SL) and Jane Goodwin (2nd VL) leading the way, well supported by Evita Gonzales-Szamocki and Sarah Tucker.
With Clive Sheppherd, Caroline Potter and Jane Thornton also in action, it was a good turn out from the Harriers!
Full results should be available from www.tach.org.uk/races.php in due course.

Westbury men claim title on home soil!
Westbury Harriers long wait for a Gwent League title came to an end at Blaise Castle as they claimed their first title since 1992 on a balmy day at Blaise!
Matt Ellis, as he has done in every race this season led the team home with a fine 6th place (which earned him the 2nd Senior Male prize)! He was well supported by Felix McGrath 15th, Anthony Glover 16th, Dan Summers 22nd and John Terry 23rd as they finished just 13 points behind a strong Les Croupiers team, to claim the title by just 30 points in the end!
The strength in depth never more apparent than by the fact that our B team finished 4th overall on the day, as Will Massey 24th, Chris Palmer 29th, John Collier 31st, Gregg Ward 36th and Karl Dunn 40th meant we had 10 guys home in the top 40!
Still they kept coming with complete C, D, E and F teams to report on!
The C team: Ken Ham 48th, Robin Phillips 53rd, Ewan Kilgour 66th, Jullian Bailey-Gard Jnr 72nd and Ian Ruck 78th - awesome packing!
The D team: Chris O'Donovan 84th, Bob Pringle 95, Terry Jewel-Davies 97th, Colin Johnson 101st and Nick Kerry 113th.
The E team: Julian Hall 115th, Jullian Bailey-Gard Snr 120th, James Cant 129th, Tony Jefferies 133rd and Clive Shepherd 139th.
The F team: Tim Synge 153rd, Geraint Torrington 156th, Rich Bloss 163rd, Andreas Lomvardos 164th, and Rich Hughes 178th.
Bringing the club home was Tim Carr in 183rd. We were also delighted to welcome back David Hobbs who finished 88th as an individual as he awaits clearance from UKA and to welcome Dan Summers' friend Tim Cridland into the squad for the weekend as he finished 113th.
An awesome way to finish off a cracker of a season for the Senior Men, whose domination of the regional XC scene is now complete. Avon Champions, South West Champions and now Gwent League Champions, a great, great performance from everyone who has represented the club over the course of the winter!
The 12 stage road relay now awaits at the end of March and then a well earned break!
