AFD flying the flag for Britain in Europe!

Andy Vernon and Ben Moreau

Aldershot, Farnham & District AC represented Great Britain at the European Champions Club Cup 2011, San Vittore Olona.

Andy Vernon started fast and was up in the leading pack of 10, but approx 1km into the race fell on the decent from a 3m ridge lossing places before the field entered the Mill, were runners ran through 2 buildings in single file slowing those at the back of the group. Andy never got back with the leading group.

Ben Moreau, who started at a more modest pace came through strongly to be AFD first scorer in 22nd just in front of Andy in 25th.

Jonny Hay, was the first Junior to finish in the Senior race finished in 29th.

AFD scoring team was completed by Paul Rodgers in 44th, non scorers Steve Connor was 56th and Martin Mashford 98th. Earlier in the day Andy Conway as travelling reserve won the fun run. Overall the team finished 6th, in what was a very strong field. Well done!

The AFD Team looking good in their kit!
