WELCOME TO ST.PETERS ATHLETICS CLUB
Winter 23/24 round up!
Thanks to everyone who have been involved in another successful XC Season. The women were so close to matching last season’s feats but a 2nd place finish in the league & Senior champs is an amazing result in itself. NBH are a club with over 1000 members & had to really get organised and bring out all their big guns in the end to defeat us which is a testament to our own ability to consistently put out 10+ quality runners for so many races.The men have equalled last season’s 5th 
place in the league but with an extra 16 points compared to last year, finishing on 108 points. 3rd place team finishes in the Malcolm Cup, NI & Ulster Novice XC, & Masters XC is a sign of what’s to come for a fast improving team and the individuals within it. The league position finish & points is again mostly down to the fact that we had so many willing to go out race after race and get at least a point for the club.
