Ninth Eric Waldron win for Stuart

Race winner Stuart Le Noury lapped the field as he strode to his ninth victory in the Eric Waldron trophy race over two miles. On a cold day with a strong wind blowing around the track, most walkers were down on expected times. Passing the one mile point in around 7.45 Stuart slowed in the second half to cross the line in 15.52, not too far off his best of 15.19 considering the conditions. Second place went to last years winner Rob Elliott in 18.45 with Donna Allan in third in 19.45.

2 miles track walk

Osmond Priaulx, Footes Lane, Guernsey 

Win number 12 for Elliott

Rob Elliott secured his 12th win in the Channel Island Ceramics Eric Waldron trophy when winning in almost the slowest winning time in the long history of the 2 miles event. Absent from the start line was current club champion Stuart Le Noury who is out of action for a time with a stress fracture and would have been otherwise attempting 8 wins in a row.

Elliott led from start to finish to record 18.28 after reaching halfway in 9.11. Close behind in a new personal best time was leading woman Donna Allan in 18.46, breaking her previous best of 19.01.

Kevin Le Noury claimed third place in 21.47, closely followed by second woman home Olga Le Noury. Peter Beckerleg, Wendy Wilson and Kevin Allan were in close contention for much of the race before spitting up in the latter stages. Stalwarts Mick Le Sauvage and Jayne Le Noury were next home followed by past winner of the race Dave Dorey.

The next race in the Channel Island Ceramics sponsored traditional races is the 7 miles Chilcott Cup raced between Albecq and North Side.

 Who is Eric Waldron? Follow the link to a profile: http://walkguernsey.wordpress.com/sportsman-champions-profiles/eric-waldron/

He donated the trophy to the GIAAC 53 years ago in 1964, which in turn was passed on to the SWC in 1970. Inaugural winner of the 2 miles track (grass track at Cambridge Park) walk was Len Duquemin winning narrowly from John Moullin, both given the same time of 16.09.1. Duquemin improving his time to 14.46.5 in 1966, which until 2009 was the Guernsey Allcomers Record for a 2 miles track walk, until Carl Thomson walked 14.40.4.

The event moved to the roads after that from 1969 to 2002. From 2003 the race has moved back to a track walk for most years to 2017.

Len Duquemin`s track time has frequently been surpassed with winning times on the road. Walker’s fastest winning times in this race are, Rob Waterman 14.30 in 1969, Andy Le Heron 14.15 in 1972, Mick Elliott 14.33 in 1974, Rob Elliott 13.58 in 1981, Mark Elliott 13.56 in 1985, Carl Thomson 14.02 in 1990, Jason Le Noury 15.10 and Stuart Le Noury 15.19.

Fastest time for the event is by Mark Elliott in 13.56 (1995). Youngest winner is Jason Le Noury at 15 years old in 2004. The walk has once been won by a woman, Jenny Elliott in 1999 and once had a tie for first place between local Kevin Le Noury and visitor Sean Pender.

Win number eight

Stuart Le Noury raced to his eighth Eric Waldron title over the two miles track distance with an easy win in the latest race. Dominating from the start he lapped the field to finish in 15.23, only four seconds behind his personal best time set a few years ago. Second home was Rob Elliott, himself a multiple winner of this event many years back. 

Third place went to Donna Allan in 19.01, adding a new Guernsey age best to her recent collection. The time was the third fastest by a local woman, behind times set by Jenny Elliott and sister Kathryn Tostevin in this now rarely walked distance.

Youngest walker Ellis Lockwood made a good effort in the closing laps to close down Kay Coulson, with Coulson only just holding on by a second.

Stuart wins Waldron Trophy for 7th time

Stuart Le Noury won the Channel Island Ceramics Eric Waldron Trophy for the seventh time after losing his nearest challenger mid way through the race. Brothers Stuart and Jason Le Noury headed the field of 12 walkers from the start of the traditional 2 miles walk, first contested back in 1964. Together for 3 laps, the eventual winner pulled away to cross the line in 15.43, leaving second placed Jason over half a minute behind.

Third to finish was Rob Elliott in 18.12 who soon left his nearest challenger Phil Lockwood behind. An even paced walk gave Elliott a half minute cushion over Phil, who is in training for the London Marathon being held soon.

Young Alex Sinkevics overtook the elder Kevin Le Noury in the closing lap to finish in 20.43, five seconds ahead.

The fastest of the women was Marie Macdonald in 22.07, a seven seconds personal best time, beating her time set last year. Jayne Le Noury took second place in 22.50, ahead of a fast finishing Kay Coulson in 23.12.

Peter Beckerleg, having been overtaken by Kay late on finished in 23.15 with Dave Dorey closing in 24.06.

The next walk is on Sunday April 17th at Delancey Park at 9.30 am over a distance of 10 kilometres. It is the second race in the Heritage Championships. Details from Jayne Le Noury, lenouryjedburgh@cwgsy.net.

Chilcott Cup 7 miles

Sunday  March 29th 2015

Channel Island Ceramics Chilcott Cup

7 miles road walk

Albecq to North Side, Guernsey

Personal Best for Winner

Stuart Le Noury raced to a new personal best time in the Channel Island Ceramics 7 miles road walk for the annual Chilcott Cup held in windy conditions from Albecq to North Side. Out on his own from the start he crossed the line in 56.37, taking almost a minute from his previous best time. Rob Elliott took second place in 1.02.38 with Phil Lockwood in third.

First woman across the line was Olga Sinkevica with 1.14.55, finishing close to the fourth man home, Kevin Le Noury who had a good walk taking 3 minutes off his last years performance. Peter Beckerleg. Mick Le Sauvage and Kay Coulson also went much quicker than in the last race, whilst the remaining two walkers Jayne Le Noury and Dave Dorey had a close race with Jayne getting home first at the finish.

On a personal note, I, Rob Elliott had a frustrating race despite partially happy to break his 63 minutes pre race target. Walking well until almost the 4 miles point at 7 mph pace, the leg injury flared again and slowed me down for the next mile which was taken easily at near 10 minutes mile pace, before rallying slightly in the last two miles. One day I will last a race!

The next walk is on Friday April 10th at 6.30 pm. The venue is Footes Lane over a distance of 2 miles for the Eric Waldron Trophy. Further information from Jayne Le Noury lenouryjedburgh@cwgsy.net .

Channel Island Ceramics

The Sarnia Walking Club are pleased to announce that Channel Island Ceramics are to sponsor two of the oldest events on our calendar in 2014, namely the Eric Waldron 2 miles track walk and the Chilcott Cup 7 miles road walk.

The trophies both date back to the 1960`s and were first donated to the Guernsey Island Amateur Athletic Club. They were then passed on to the Sarnia Walking Club.

The Eric Waldron Trophy was introduced in 1964 and first won by Len Duquemin in 16.09.1, just ahead of John Moullin who was given the same time. The first events were held on the grass track at Cambridge Park, with Duquemin improving his time to 14.46.5 in 1966, which until 2009 was the Guernsey Allcomers Record for a 2 miles track walk, until Carl Thomson walked 14.40.4.

The event moved to the roads after that from 1969 to 2002. From 2003 the race has moved back to a track walk for most years to 2013.

Len Duquemin`s track time has frequently been surpassed with winning times on the road. Walker’s fastest winning times in this race are, Rob Waterman 14.30 in 1969, Andy Le Heron 14.15 in 1972, Mick Elliott 14.33 in 1974, Rob Elliott 13.58 in 1981, Mark Elliott 13.56 in 1985, Carl Thomson 14.02 in 1990.

The Chilcott & Sons Ltd Trophy was first walked for in 1963 and won by T Le Gallez. John Moullin took the honours a year later just breaking the hour barrier. Roy Brouard was awarded the Trophy in 1965 in a handicapped 7 miles walk.

After a gap of six years the Trophy was reintroduced, with Moullin winning in 1971 in 54.35. Rob Waterman went even quicker a year later with a 53.58 winning time.

Mick Elliott won the Trophy 5 times between 1973 and 1981, a 55.19 being his fastest time. His son Robert has won the race 16 times, with a best of 51.35, which is still a Guernsey record on the Houmet to White Rock course. Carl Thomson has 6 wins to his name, with a fastest time of 51.56 on the Albecq to North Side course.

2 miles track walk
Osmond Priaulx, Guernsey

Stuart Le Noury retained the Office Solutions Eric Waldron Trophy in the first evening race of the year.The bitterly cold evening and windy conditions did not help as he led from start to finish to cross the line in 16.39. Second man home and thirty seconds behind was Phil Lockwood with past winner Rob Elliott back in third. Rose Druckes was the quickest of the women ahead of Harriet Payne.
Nowadays the distance is rarely competed over, but the SWC are sticking to the distance for this traditional trophy awarded almost 50 years ago by Eric Waldron. Eric, an athelete back in the 1950`s and 1960`s and occasional race walker has twice won the annual Church to Church road walk.
The next walk is on Sunday April 14th at Les Amarreurs at 9.30 am. The race is a one mile handicap and is for the Philadelphia Team Trophy. Details from Jayne Le Noury at lenouryjedburgh@cwgsy.net.

Eric Waldron Trophy

 

Stuart retains Eric Waldron Trophy

 

Stuart Le Noury retained the Office Solutions sponsored walk for the Eric Waldron Trophy when easily taking victory in a new personal best 2 miles time of 15.22 on the road at Les Amarreurs.  Ideal conditions helped all the walkers in the first evening race of the year. An ankle injury probably cost Le Noury removing more time, but was good enough to leave second man home trailing by 41 seconds. Jason Le Noury was second home in his first race for some time, with Phil Lockwood taking third place.

Past winner Rob Elliott had a good race finishing not too far behind Lockwood and breaking the Guernsey age group best time. Jayne Le Noury was the first woman home in 21.41, which was her best for five years.

The next walk is on Sunday April 15th at 9.30 am. The walk is from Albecq to North Side, a distance of seven miles and is for the Office Solutions Chilcott Cup. All are welcome to compete. Details from Jayne Le Noury, tel 246865.
