sponsored by Channel Island Ceramics

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.

Chilcott Cup 7 miles

Sunday  March 29th 2015

Sarnia Walking Club

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stuart wins the Waldron Trophy

 

Stuart Le Noury was too fast for defending champion and brother Jason Le Noury in the 2 miles Bedell Cristin sponsored Eric Waldron race. The brothers were together for the first two of eight laps before Stuart started pulling away. By the one mile point he had a lead of seven seconds as he went through the half way in 7.37. Third walker Phil Lockwood was well down in 8.20. The gaps increased in the second half of the race as Stuart crossed the line in an almost identical time that he recorded when winning the event in 2008. The first three were all down on their times set in the same event in 2010. Fourth spot went to Rob Elliott, satisfied with his effort as he tries to get back into shape. Others in the field were strung out with Kevin Le Noury getting the better of Dave Dorey and Mick Le Sauvage. Womens competitor Rose Druckes struggled along at the rear of the field, glad to finish, suffering from a cold.

The next local walk is on Sunday April 10th at Les Amarreurs, starting at 9.30 am. The event is the Philadelphia Cup team race, decided on a one mile handicapped walk. Details from Jayne Le Noury tel 246865.
