Congratulations to Mole Valley on retaining the Frolics London Bus Trophy.
They achieved this despite not winning a single event - but consistently good runners and a full team in each event proved to be a successful strategy.
SLOW pipped LOK at the post to gain 2nd place overall, thanks to fast times in their home event making them winners of their own event. However disappointed LOKKIES can take comfort in having accumulated more scores over the course of the series.
HAVOC came from behind to snatch 4th place from under the nose of DFOK and SAX.
MANY THANKS TO ALL THOSE CLUB RUNNERS WHO TOOK PART IN THIS YEAR'S FROLICS SERIES. LET'S HOPE IT IS SIMILARLY GOOD WEATHER NEXT YEAR FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF FRIENDLY FROLICKING.
MOST OF ALL, THANKS TO THE ORGANISERS, PLANNERS AND CONTROLLERS (and their helpers on the day) WITHOUT WHOM THE SERIES WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.
