In 2012 223 entered and 204 finished so a similar result on Saturday results in c240 finishers predicted.
Team Entries: Apart from one team in the u17M from R&N all the other races have from 3 -5 teams.
How many will any club win? R&N have teams in all 10 categories; Ketteringhave 9 –missing out only in the u17M. Both Corby and Silson have 7 teams, whilst WAC field two and NRR field a team in the SW. In the two final events; could Kettering win the SW with an all u20 team from a strong Corby squad or will there be an upset from one of the other three teams? As for the SM, will R&N’s large squad of 16 hold off Corby’s strong team and retain the trophy? Individually Sian Edwards is not competing, so who will win their first senior women’ county title? In the SM event, Tom Bark and Rory Grant have not entered, so can last year’s 3rd finisher Jonny Goringe defeat in form British u23 xc international, Jacob Allen and how will Corby’s leading duo this winter fare?Chris Curtis will try to beat his team mate Luke Montgomery who will be trying to place first and thus emulate his father John who won this title in 1969 as a junior at Harpole. Any surprises likely? All will be settled on Saturday from noon to 2pm. Have shoes that grip!!!

Entries for the younger events are good but SW/ SM Numbers are, like last year worryingly low.

For the county’s larger endurance clubs,Corby – better than recent levels of entries- benefitting from the home fixture? Kettering –A surge of late hand deliveries, entries now up to usual

R&N – A BIG entry generally this year but very weak in SW. I will be very surprised if they win all 10 team trophies as in 2015 but not if they havemany individual medallists.

Silson –Numbers are practically double over 2015, with a possible 7 teams; a great success

Wellingborough- Failure to build on last year’s SM team medals- disappointing

As for the other endurance clubs; small numbers of entries or none at all!! and for the premier county endurance xc event of the year!!! Again a disappointment
