DEEPCUT A DECADE First place went to Lance Corporal Eaton of Headquarters BAOR/Narthag in a most creditable time of 34 minutes 55 seconds; second was Sergeant Towers- Clarke of Wulfen with 36.04; and third was Corporal Wreyford of Dulmen 'A' with 36.35. The first three teams were Dulmen 'A,' Combat Supplies Battalion and 3 Armoured Division, in that order. Dulmen took the honours with an im- pressive display of the fruits of training and dedication. They fielded two teams, and only Sergeant Yeats of I Armoured Division, who came tenth, broke up a solid wedge of Dulmen runners from third to eleventh place. Special credit goes to Captain Andy Jelly of Dulmen who com- pleted the course to come eleventh,despite a gashed knee which subsequently received hospital treatment. RAOC (BAOR) wish him and his team every success for the higher level events of the season. Combat Supplies Battalion also did well to im- prove radically on their previous cham- pionship position of sixth, and pip new- comers 3 Armoured Division into third place. All in all it proved to be an excellent day's sport, with a high turnout and an encouragingly high standard of com- petition.

TRAVERS parte Report CLARKE ATHLETICS 19TS THE Travers Clarke Athletics Meeting is to be held at the Military Stadium, Aldershot on the 6th and 7th June 1978. Slight changes have been made to the competition rules. These rules will be forwarded to all units in due course. Last year's Meeting demonstrated that major and minor units can compete on an equal basis and maintain a good standard of athletics. It is hoped therefore, that many more units will consider entering this year. {continued from page 271). THE RAOC (BAOR) CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS THE RAOC (BAOR) Cross Country Championship Meeting 1977 was held at Dulken Woods, Viersen. The event was organised by SSD Viersen and attracted a healthy field of ninety five runners and eleven teams. The race started with a flourish of the Corps flag by Briga- dier Crawley, DOS BAOR, and runners set off in a biting wind on 6.3 miles of sodden, often steep T woodland paths. Ironically, Captain Andrew Byles of SSD Viersen, having set the course, could not run on the day due to 'flu and the prevalence of restraining counsels. Perhaps he knew something the others did not! THE DGOS FITNESS CHALLENGE TO THE OVER FORTIES THE undermentioned successfully completed the distance: — Major D. B. H. Ford, Vehicle Depot Ashchurch; Lieutenant Colonel T. D. Yeats, COD Chilwell; Lieutenant Colonel J. M. Watts, DSM (Vehicle Division) Chilwell; Lieutenant Colonel D. Baughan, British Army Staff Washington, 273 |
