    bibhutiBy Sports No Comments3 Mins Read


    The Kent Schools Cross-Country Championships once again saw some of the county’s best runners battle it out at Central Park, and Simon Hildrew was there to capture all of Saturday’s action.

    Boys and girls’ titles were up for grabs in four categories – Year 7, junior, intermediate and senior – and there was no shortage of drama, with especially close finishes in the Year 7 boys’ race and senior boys’ event.
