Big well done to Sam Hill and Mike Robinson who represented Cornwall at the Plymouth Hoe 10 miler on Sunday, although Cornwall mens team finished behind Devon Sam had a fantastic debut at this distance finishing in 9th place in a time of 55.50 (a new club record) and Mike in a new personal PB finishing in 13th in 57.11 - Mike entered under his second claim club Plymouth Harriers due to the fact that PH had a team entered.(he has not, reported by certain people ‘moved clubs’

Well done Mike and Sam,
One thing I don’t get. Plymouth is in Devon but Plymouth harriers run for Cornwall, is this correct?

Mike is Cornish, his FIRST named club is MBH, BUT……because we only had 3 MBH doing the race Mike raced for PH (his second named club) because they were able to field a team of 6 - if you look at Devon, Kairn Stone, who won the race and led Devon home, his club is Newham & Essex Beagles, same for Stuart Hall who races for Tipton Harriers - all very confusing I know!

yes it is a bit confusing, what I didn’t get is that Plymouth is in DEVON so why are they running for Cornwall? Or can you be in a Devon club and run for Cornwall even if the club run for Devon? …even more confusing now!!!!
