Inter Commands & RAFO v Police Challenge, Epping Forest - 16 Nov 03
| This year, with the kind permission of CHIG, the Inter Command Championships were held at their Michael Brandon 'Mitre' Badge Event in Epping Forest, Surrey. The men bimbled over the M35 Long course and the ladies pottered over the W35 Short course. Despite an unfortunate and headache inducing mishap with the Sportident kit, the day proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable one, with competition on good terrain and no rain. |  |
 |
After a hard fought competition, for the second year running, the PTC men overcame the STC team to win by a margin of 16 minutes, and were duly presented with their trophies on time (Can we have last years back, Please!!!). The STC ladies scored a resounding win over the PTC ladies, winning by a margin of over 100 minutes. Mia Armstrong once again dependably won the ladies competition, with Robbie coming in as runner up. The mens competition drew a few surprises this year, with Rich Freeman coming home comfortably in the lead to become RAF champion, with Andy Ebdon as runner up. Bob Hill, our RAF Champion of many moons ago, resurfaced to claim a lot of prized scalps in 9th position, will it be RAF Champion 1975, 1978, 1979 and 2004?, lets wait and see. |
| The event was also used to host the RAFO v Police Challenge 2004. Both teams presented a strong field, but we were unable to confirm the result on the day, due to the Sportident failure and the distance most of the Police team had to travel on the day. Once the results had been confirmed, it was clear the RAF men had a comfortable victory, winning by margin of 80 minutes, whilst the RAF ladies held of the Police ladies with a winning margin of 25 minutes. If all goes to plan, the trophies will be awarded at the Inter Service Championships on the 30 November. |  |
