Congratulation from the club!

An indication of the wide variety of races undertaken by Dumfries Running Club members was shown last weekend by Jo Zakrzewski who undertook her first-ever Saunders Mountain marathon along with partner Russ Ladkin.
This massive two-day event involves hundreds of teams in eight different categories with navigation as well as running ability tested to the limit in the Lake District.
Each team had to carry all their own equipment, tent and food and were strictly monitored under the safety requirements of the Fell Runners’ Association. Read the rest of this entry »
Primary cricket teams raring to go at Nunholm
Local primary schools have not quite been hearing the smack of leather on willow this summer – more the thump of plastic on plastic.
Along with a team from Galloway and another from Lockerbie, pupils from Collin, Duncow, Georgetown and Noblehill Primary Schools came to Nunholm for a series of Kwik cricket matches between ten teams.
For four Friday evenings in June the teams bowled fast, threw hard and hit big as five games took place simultaneously on the ground. In all there were over sixty young participants who enjoyed their time with bat and ball.

Kwik Cricket action at Nunholm
The Collin “A-Team” proved to be the champions – being undefeated in their 8 matches.
There was plenty of enthusiasm and no little skill on show and hopefully some of the primary pupils will have been enthused enough to return to Nunholm for some of the Dumfries Cricket Club weekly junior coaching sessions – which carry on through the summer holidays – on Mondays from 6.15-8pm.
Thanks go to the volunteers who umpired and organised the matches and the teachers and team managers for marshalling their sides.
Nunholm's Rennie and Johnston batting record
It was a day for records at Nunholm on Saturday as Russell Johnston and Richard Rennie took JMS Nunholm to an astonishing score of 346 for the loss of no wickets in 50 overs against Albert Park in Western Union Division 2. Johnston scored 191 not out, his second century of the season and his highest score, and Rennie scored 125 not out, his maiden century for the club.
Andrew Kyle with five wickets and Chris McCutcheon with three avoided the anticlimax of a draw by bowling Albert Park out for 121 in the 34th over to seal an emphatic 225 run win. Read the rest of this entry »

Dumfries Cricket Club
The inaugural 5k womens Race for Health was held on the morning of Sunday June 28th at the Crichton Campus. Organised by Devorgilla rotary club, this event replaced the Race for Life and was not organised as a race as such with having fun, raising money for charity and running with like minded participants the main focus of the event.
A number of the Monday night beginners group from the club took part in the event with Emily Kennedy and Dawn Philip running together in 29.22. However, family bragging rights go to daughter Sophie who was 5th overall and beat her mum by over 5 minutes. Eileen Adamson and her two young daughters ran with Theresa DeFazio in 34 minutes with the two adults glad to use the kids as a reason to ease off in the warm sunshine! Further details on the Monday night club beginners group can be found on www.dumfriesrunningclub.org.uk .
Participants in the Dumfries Academy Sponsored Walk
Dumfries Running Club members are nothing if they are not versatile. Most enjoy races on the flat but there are a substantial minority who enjoy nothing more than the challenge of hill running and they got their place in the sun last Tuesday at the Lotus Hill Race, close to Beeswing.
In all 25 took part on one of the hottest nights of the year, expertly organised by Bob Green, helped by Alan McKean, Paul Hart and Sebastian Pflanz with the latter two glad to rest after their heroics at the West Highland Way race the previous weekend. Read the rest of this entry »
