So after a full season of time trialling, the Kingston Phoenix Road Club won the SCCU Rawson Shield for the first time. It has been a truly magnificent effort by the racing members of the club, with 26 riders contributing to this win. Every entry gained one point towards the club's total and this shield is usually won with around 40 points, but we have absolutely smashed it this season with a total of 80 points; 41 points more than the second placed club, Addiscombe CC. Well done everybody.
Mike Morley, as the only KPRC member to ride every single event (that's a total of 326 racing miles by the way) he received the Shield with Brain Powney last Sunday at the SCCU Prize Giving Lunch, held at the Copthorne Hotel.
However, this was a true team effort, so thank you to all the members who entered and raced in order for us to win this. I am hopeful of two things next year. Firstly, that a couple of other clubs might challenge us and that secondly, we win it again anyway.
Here's to next year.
