No, Blackheath all ran in the Kent League which took place in Kent at the weekend. They will hopefully return when the Surrey League returns to its rightful resting place at the 3rd fixture taking place on the hallowed turf of finest Kent in January. Will there be a mass boycott/or protest by those who claim to be from the land of Surrey?

You're talking Kent State U. in Ohio here, right?
Please give me a buzz, if we could get Kent from Ohio and Kent from former Kent into the Surrey League then the league can only benefit, some may say complete. Please be prompt, Tonbridge are knocking at the door.

The Golden Flashes (no kidding, that's their name) of Kent State U. In Kent, Ohio, was seventh in the all-Ohio college champeenship, on Sept. 28 out of 30 something college and junior college teams. Top guy was fifth.
The college nationals,( the NCAA's) is Nov.23. I doubt they're going so attempting "proper" XC sounds like a potentially awesome adventure.
Cheerios!

cross country flats aren’t a thing over here either because as the previous poster said we do “proper cross country”.
And finally, coaches don’t go out and clear the course before a race. Because it’s “proper cross country.”
You don't even have "country" in Europe, you destroyed all the natural terrain centuries ago and replaced it with farms.
Run in random wilderness and you'll find grass usually the toughest kind of country to cross, often too tall to run through at all. Where's the rocks, the dirt, the forested paths?

If we’re being real. “It’s good for competition” is the worst argument I have heard for having Kent AC in the Surrey League. The Kent League is where you belong. Jim Allchins wouldn’t be have had to jump ship if you were in the right league. Nor would Chris Busailor. Poor lads.
Fine showing at Effingham Common, but you'd be up schitz creek without Gilbert, so don't get too cocky.
See you at Ladywell with the Kent U. Golden Flashers from Kent, Ohio. We'll show you how it's done.

To be fair they could always sub in their Olympic standard blogger Rustle Bentley. But I guess it’s cheaper to subsidise travel for the people’s champ.
Would Kent AC not have still won even it Gilbert's train had been delayed further? Does this not make you need to go back to school, tail between your legs? Serious questions were asked of Wimbledon last Saturday, the answers were limited, the dialect was so posh and loud people were running for cover in nearby Hemsby. The owners of Hercules Wimbledon and are in the midst of agreeing a deal for them to be relocated to a former mining town near Newark (A town whose name was determined after the Royal Anagram Society voted on Wimbledon as it's favoured benefactor) .
Round 2 "ding ding" in a few weeks on home soil. Will the fixture depend on how many of the HW lads favour road running? (The loyal second cottagers)
Sorry, I made a mistake. Should have said 'Claimers' not 'Cottagers'

Didn’t the road running club just win the Southern XC Relays? (And by that I mean Her lies Wimbledon and not Kent AC.) Where were Kent AC? A competition that Kent should actually be in for once but I guess you only have enough to subsidise travel to 4 races.
Kent AC - the club that tells its own athletes NOT to race their county champs so that they can be fresh for the SURREY league. Obviously one of your only classy runners ignored that ridiculous order and still won their county champs.
And can still manage both? Clearly the difference between the two clubs, one apathetic to the Surrey League 'ooh minor road race there best go do that instead' The other 'Do both, win them both' whilst 94% of the population from the UK vote for the team of the people trying to take on the money of Surrey for a 6th year in 7.
The people of Wimbledon are very excited for a Kent win. They are so excited that they sponsored a galloping stray horse to sing "I have the wings of a sparrow and and the flight of a dove, I'd fly over Wimbledon and sh!t down from above" Of course forgetting the said horse would still be in London and miles from Surrey .

30% of nothing is nothing.
All you fools have for "country" is cow pastures, hedgerows, and Scotland.

Forgive my arrogance, but which win are you referring to here? And you mean ‘don’t do both, try and fail to win one’.
One of the fantastic 6 in a row the club achieved?
Suspicious! PEDs in the Bovril?
Smell my cheese you mother!

Nope, doesn’t count. You’re in the wrong league.
