Easy win for Ian Richards

Winner Ian Richards was away from the off to secure an easy win in the Sarnia Walkings Clubs race over 3 kilometres at Les Amarreurs. A hot summers evening brought a number of competitors due to race the Church to Church down to the event. Grateful thanks to those from outside Guernsey that helped out with the judging.

Whilst winner Richards was racing to a fast 14.16 clocking and breaking Ed Shillabeers all comers age best in the process, Jim Ball and Rob Elliott were swopping race positions throughout before crossing the line together in 17.15 for second place.

Local walkers Kevin Le Noury and Peter Beckerleg claimed equal fourth place ahead of Mick Le Sauvage. Regular visitor David Hoben was close behind in 7th with Kay Coulson bringing up the rear with 22.25.

Second win for Donna

Donna Allan scored her second win in the Bob Wright Handicap Series after three races to head the series overall. She smashed her previous best time set recently and recorded the fastest womens time in Guernsey for the last seven years. 

Donnas first walk was in the recent Church to Church walk in September, which she entered late in the day and has showed good form since, taking to the event with ease. Her actual time of 17.41 gave her the handicap win over Dave Dorey (pictured moving into the final laps) by 17 seconds, who finished just ahead of a fast finishing Stuart Le Noury. Stuart was showing a good return to form with his 14.17 time being the fastest of the day. 

Fourth place went to Rob Elliott, followed by Kevin Le Noury and Peter Beckerleg who both walked well on a sunny November day with a slight wind.Mick Le Sauvage got the better of Marie Macdonald, both walking close actual times of 20.25 and 20.33 respectively. Jayne Le Noury walking her usual consistent walk despite carrying an injury got the better of Phil Lockwood. Olga Le Noury brought the field home with a time of 20.12.

The next walk is on Sunday November 20th at 9.30 am at the old Quayside premises on North Side. The distances are either 5 or 10 kilometres.

Peter Kendal Pairs Trophy

Sunday October 30th 2016

Sarnia Walking Club

Peter Kendal Pairs Trophy 

3 kms handicap road walk 

Les Amarreurs, Vale, Guernsey

Close finish in team event

The annual Peter Kendal team trophy was a decided by a close race between the first three teams with only 31 seconds separating them once the handicap times had been added on. 

The novelty race is between teams of two walkers, drawn together from a fast group of walkers and a slower group, walking together for the first 1.5 kilometres lap, before the faster walkers are allowed to race at their own pace for the next lap with team mates continuing at their pace.

Teams are started on handicap from the slower walkers 3 kilometres predicted times, with the faster walkers handicap added on at the end after their 1.5 kilometres effort. Sounds complicated but it works. 

Mick Le Sauvage and Olga Le Noury emerged as winners from Kay Coulson and Donna Allan by 28 seconds, with Jayne and Kevin Le Noury a few seconds back in third place.

Fastest of the walkers doing the 3 kilometres was Peter Beckerleg in 19.52 from Mick Le Sauvage in 20.08 with Kay Coulson with a personal best time of 20.32 in third place.

In the 1.5 kilometres race after walkers had stayed with their team mates for the first lap, Stuart Le Noury finished in 7.16. Second quickest was Rob Elliott in 8.19.

The walk of the day was by Donna Allan who is still getting used to the event after only a handful of races, recording a swift 8.46 for third place. She also recorded 19.17 for the full distance after walking the first lap with Kay Coulson, who relishes this type of competition. Officially only her 1.5 kms time will count in Sarnia records but still a 3 kms time to note.

Past competitor Darren Lynch on holiday from his home in South Africa came down to visit the older walkers and recalled that this Peter Kendal trophy was the first one that he won with Mick Le Sauvage back in 1980. In those days the event was contested between teams consisting of one senior over 17 years walker and one junior under 17.

Team result after handicaps added:

1^st Team C: M Le Sauvage and O Le Noury 41.21

Cambridge Park new courses

Sarnia Walking Club

3 kilometres and 1.5 kilometres road walks

Cambridge Park, Guernsey

Double for Stuart

Stuart Le Noury scored two easy wins in the Sarnia Walking Club events held on new courses at Cambridge Park. Facing leaves and acorns on the ground, freshly fallen from the windy conditions the night before, 11 walkers started the longer walk.

Trialling the lap of 600 metres for the first time, Stuart had the company of brother Jason for two laps as they crossed the line in 6.39, after an opening 3.19. Jason pulled out of the race at this point with reoccurring injury, whilst Stuart increased his speed over the next three laps with 3.19, 3.14 and a closing lap of 2.57 for a final time of 16.08.

Second home was Kevin Le Noury in 20.14 followed by Marie Macdonald and Donna Allan in 20.45 and 20.48 respectively. 

Marie had opened up a gap of eight seconds on Donna with a lap to go, cut to three by the finish.

Peter Beckerleg again got the better of Mick Le Sauvage with his 21.23, who in turn held off the third woman home Kay Coulson. An out of sorts OLga Le Noury finished in 22.11 with Jayne Le Noury, losing time removing a stone from her shoe on the first lap, just falling short of catching last man home Dave Dorey.

In the shorter walk over 1.5 kilometres on a 750 metres lap, Stuart recorded 8.05, another one to fall victim of a stone in his shoe, with Rob Elliott in 8.22 taking second place. Fastest of the women was Donna Allan 11.06 ahead of Kay Coulson in 11.12. Jayne Le Noury reversed the positions of the first race beating Dave Dorey by a minute.

The next walk is on Sunday October 30th at 9.30 am at Les Amarreurs. The distance is 3 kilometres for the Peter Kendal Pairs Trophy.

Le Nourys show good form

The two Le Noury boys were too strong for masters walker Jim Ball who attempted to go with the pace in the Sarnia Walking Clubs 3 kilometres warm up race for the Church to Church walk taking place two days later.

In overcast conditions the brothers were in close contention at the head of the field going through the half way point in 7.33 and 7.34. Jim was hanging on six seconds behind.

All three increased the pace on the second lap with Stuart Le Noury claiming the eventual win from brother Jason with a 14.58 clocking. Jim, with reduced training in recent months was happy with his evenings workout and finished in 15.13.

First of the women home was Olga Le Noury in 20.11, ahead of Kay Coulson in 20.50, followed by Jayne Le Noury in 21.32.

Other visiting walkers for Sundays longer walk took part, with regular walker David Hoben finishing in 20.56 and newcomer to Guernsey Kathy Crilley who finished in 22.27.

On the officials side of the race, locals were joined by Sean Pender from Enfield and past Church to Church winner Colin Bradley from Wales.

Championship Leaders Increase Leads

Stuart Le Noury and Olga Sinkevica kept up their challenges for the Sarnia Walking Club Heritage Group Championships with narrow wins over their nearest rivals in the latest walk over 3 kilometres. On a warm morning at Les Amarreurs, Stuart Le Noury had the close company of brother Jason as they went through the half way point in 7.30 and 7.31, before Stuart increased the pace over the second lap to come home sixteen seconds clear in 14.47. Rob Elliott took an isolated third place two minutes behind, followed by Phil Lockwood who after last weeks DNF was perhaps easing himself back into racing.

A return to form by the two leading women saw Olga Sinkevica, with a fifteen seconds lead at halfway, increased to twenty six by the finish, defeat Marie Macdonald. A good walk by Marie who walked close to her personal best time. Sandwiched between the two with 19.45 was junior under 17 walker Alex Sinkevics.

Third woman to finish was Jayne Le Noury in 20.43, followed by Kay Coulson. Kevin Le Noury got the better of Peter Beckerleg by half a minute. Mick Le Sauvage , walking two fairly even split times ducked under 21 minutes, with Dave Dorey bringing the 13 strong field home in 22.39.

In the Handicap section of the race, Jayne Le Noury increased her overall points lead for the Jubilee Tankard with a shared win with Jason Le Noury.

The next walk is on Sunday June 12th at 9.30 am at Footes Lane over a distance of 5,000 metres. It will be the sixth race in the Championships. Details from Jayne Le Noury lenouryjedburgh@cwgsy.net

Elliott has double win

Rob Elliott did the double in the third race of the Heritage Championships, taking first place in the race and then quickest time in the handicapped race held in conjunction. With the handicap time added on to the finishing time he had a 5 seconds advantage over Kevin Le Noury.

In the absence of Stuart Le Noury who won the first two events, Elliott found himself in front throughout the race to cross the line in 16.34, well ahead of second placed Phil Lockwood in 18.01.

Elliotts time equalled the Guernsey age best time held by Terry Bates, although both walkers have quicker times at the distance on the road.

Phil Lockwood had taken part in the London Marathon the previous Sunday. He had suffered with a back problem after five miles and had to stretch it out throughout the rest of the race which he walked the entire way. His time was one to forget finishing an hour slower than last years race in just under 6 hours.

A good race by Kevin Le Noury gave him third place ahead of Mick Le Sauvage and Peter Beckerleg. Fastest of the women was Jayne Le Noury in 21.16, ahead of Kay Coulson. Kay held off Dave Dorey with a good last lap.

The next event is on Sunday May 8th at Les Amarreurs, over a distance of 3 kilometres for the Graham Mann team trophy. Start time is at 9.30 am.
