Falkirk Effects
When Edinburgh AC returned to their religious house at Meadowbank Stadium a few years in the past there was once a way of reduction for all concerned.
The have an effect on of being venue nomads – albeit briefly – had an impact and membership office-bearers quietly was hoping a go back would assist aggressive efficiency.
Was once the primary proof of that obvious within the junior races on the Lindsays Nationwide XC?
It felt that manner at Falkirk as Edinburgh AC started to, neatly, encroach on what has lately been Giffnock’s area (the staff podium!!).
Sturdy performances in a membership sense from the likes of Falkirk Victoria and Harmeny have been a credit score to these golf equipment whilst Lasswade AC proceed to flourish in percentage.
Edinburgh received golds at U13 Ladies and U17 Girls degree and had two units of silvers as neatly at U13 Boys and U15 Boys.
Curiously, Edinburgh accomplished that staff luck with just one athlete at the particular person podiums – so their intensity was once efficient.
As Edinburgh AC trainer Eric Fisher advised us: ‘I really like the Nationwide XC as a result of it’s all the time nice to peer such a lot of youngsters in the market racing.
‘The move nation season may also be the foundation for thus a lot more over the 12 months and the ambience at Falkirk all the time makes it a spotlight.
‘Well done to every athlete, and their coaches and clubs, who raced at U17, U15 and U13 level today. I think they are all champions.’
