Witton Park X-Country - Saturday 13th November by Gary S

17 turned up for the latest installment of the x-country season at Witton Park, Blackburn.  On arrival it was clear that the conditions were going to make this a right slog and to top it off they included the tea spoon to go along with the notorious saucer! which meant 4 big climbs for the ladies and 8 for the blokes...

In the ladies race Brenda Wane was 1st finisher for us with Micheala Shaw and Mandy Baxendale, the race itself was won by Great Britain International Hattie Dean.

Simon Ford was 1st finisher in the men's race, next was Gary Atherton just edging out Troy Topping.  Shaun Moran came through the field to finish strong with Gary Stevens winning his tussle with Gary Cassidy.

Alan Hilton, John Hyde, Craig Little, Terry G, Steve Foster, Terry Hughes and Craig Bradbury all stuck to the task well with Barry Allman bringing the team home.

In the words of Fred Norris this was a proper x-country...like the old days!
