Kent County Cross Country League
At the team managers meeting following the final Senior Women's & Young Athletes fixture, it was decided, due to few managers being present, to circulate all Clubs in order that they give their views on the following.
1. It is thought that the Senior Women's League can unduly influence the overall result ie Best Overall Women's Club and Most Improved Club. This is due to the number of Clubs competing in the Senior event compared to the younger age groups. For example a team in the younger age groups may get 6 points (6 Clubs competing), while the Senior event attracts far more teams say 15 Clubs which would mean 15 points. It was suggested, therefore, that the Senior Women should not have their results included in the Best Club/Most Improved Club competitions.
2. As there are very few races for Senior Women in the first part of the year, their final league race should be at the same time/venue as the Senior Men in February. This could only happen if the Clubs agreed with the suggestions in 1.
3. The programme for the Young Athletes could still be completed by Christmas, and there would be no reason why Senior Men and Women cannot continue to be part of the programme for the first three matches.
It would be appreciated if the views/comments from Clubs could be forwarded to Neil Smith or Dennis Foxley before the end of February 2007.
