12 Trotters teams attend the Erme Valley Relays...

The Erme Valley Relays took place on the evening of Friday 4th July, in heavy rain.   Despite the conditions, Teignbridge Trotters put 12 teams together (the ladies captained by Caroline Clark and the men by Kevin Besford), which was the largest amount of teams from any club.  Individual times are eligible for the Club Championship and the event is a 4x2.5 mile relay and is organised by Erme Valley Harriers.

The Under 18s junior team of Tom Besford, Jamie Barnett, Kieran Crewes and Adam Batt won their group, again showing that the new team is a force to be reckoned with.
