Following a late change of venue 21 A&T runners (a new record turnout for cross-country) turned up at a wet & windswept Witton park to do battle with ‘the saucer’
As always the ladies were first to set off, Brenda even had time to wave to her grandson as she set off on the 2 lap course. Mary-Anne, fresh from her victory at the Swinton Half last weekend, finished 3rd lady after another excellent run. Michaela Shaw had a good run & was next A&T finisher followed by Brenda Wane, who is on her way back after injury. Sue Hopkins & Lyndsey Carter both ran well battling all the way round with Brenda. Carole Baines, Abbie Eckersley & Michelle Fairclough all had good runs Abbie was 5 seconds behind Carole & Michelle was 15 seconds behind Abbie. Marjorie Leigh & Eva Tuer completed the line-up finishing strongly
Next it was the turn of the men, 4 laps this time. Simon Ford was first A&T finisher with another strong run followed by yours truly (Mark Riches) Troy Topping was next followed by Mark Ruscoe, both running well. Derek Coop & Terry Gardiner finished next, both having good runs. Craig Bradbury managed to get round without colliding with a lamppost followed by a strong run by Terry Hughes. Steve Foster & Garry Baines were next, finishing strongly with Paul Basnett completing the line-up in only is second outing on the country. Unfortunately Peter Mulleady had to stop after one lap due to his ongoing knee injury. Make sure that you rest Pete as we need you for the GP5 next week
Well done everyone; next race is Saturday 10 October in Kendal (the day before GP5!)
