NEHL Sherman Cup & Davison Shield 2022

Morning All and welcome to Temple Park February 12th 2022

Postcode for the event is NE34 8QN

Although runners will wear the same race number as for other Harrier League races, this is not a League race, it's the Sherman Cup (male)/Davison Shield (female).

There are no handicap packs and no pack promotions for this event.

All races are scratch races with all runners in a race setting off at the same time.

This is a one off annual competition across all age groups.

Cup/Shield points are awarded to clubs in all 5 age groups (U13, U15, U17/20, Senior and Vet) and the best club across all age groups wins the trophy.

You don't earn League points for this event but if you have a Harrier League race number for this year then you can still race

There's no additional cost, it's included in your £3 paid for the race number for the season
.
Just turn up at the start line in time for your race. There's no need to register again.

The timetable is the same order as usual for a Harrier League meeting BUT, because the Sherman Cup/Davison Shield have no packs, things will progress a little quicker than usual so keep an eye on events so you aren't late for the start of your race.

REMEMBER TO WEAR THE CORRECT NUMBER, NOT THE ONE FROM THE NORTHERNS

Pre entries will cost £3, Lost or replacement numbers are £5
