AFD were out in bulk once again today, with a long old haul up to Mansfield to partake in the English Athletics National Cross Country Relays.
A great turn out across the board, with some excellent results and performances from U13’s right through to the senior men and women.
To be somewhat blinkered the details below only pertain to Robbie’s section, results for the event as a whole can be found at…

AFD U15 Boys had a lot to do again today, facing off against their Road Relay competition in the form of the all conquering Tonbridge team with other heavy competition being promised from Bedford and Leicester, would AFD be able to bump up out of 4th place and grab a medal? You bet they would.
1st Tonbridge
2nd Bedford
3rd AFD
4th Leicester
So at National Level the top 3 is a direct replica of the Southern Road Relay performance, and a very close run in for the National Road Relays, with the only change being the switch of 3rd and 4th place giving AFD U15 Boys a National Level Medal. Well Done Boys.
