Junior Home Internationals 2017 – England in narrow win!

9 October 2017

England took the win by just 3 points at the Junior Home Internationals in Dolgellau, mid-Wales at the weekend 7-8 October. They went into the lead after the individual day on Saturday, and although Scotland put up a good fight, winning both Junior Men’s & Women’s Relays on Sunday, England won overall.

Wales and Ireland shared 3rd place with some good Irish runners in the individual race, and the Welsh performing well in the Relays.

The win by England means they have won all three Home International matches this year – Juniors, Seniors and Veterans.

Congratulations to all teams.
