What a great start to the season, albeit later than our usual start. Our sincere thanks to John Messum and all of his helpers at Deeside Athletic Club who even booked the weather this year so that we did not encounter the mud of last year.

 

Over 300 athletes towed the line on Saturday afternoon, following a morning when the North Wales Junior League had over 100 entrants. First off were the Women’s, Youth’s and Master 70+ Race. It was great to see the young men giving the women a run for their money for a change and Oliver Barberesi won comfortably in the end and after a race long battle Ethan Ackroyd just managed to beat Cedol Dafydd in a sprint for the minor places. Deeside were the only club to complete a team of three.

 

The Under 17 women and Under 20 women made a dash at the start of the Women’s race but the old heads paced themselves much better and W40 athletes Michelle Clarke, Telford took the honours from Georgina Ross, Tattenhall. Another Master Sian Williams from Hebog made the top three. Special mention must go to Viv McConnell of Oswestry who finished in a superb 9th place overall in the women’s race on her league debut – she is a W60!! It was close at the top of the team with Denbigh taking an early lead from champions Eryri.

 

Chris Richards, an 18 year old fresher at Bangor Uni controlled the Men’s race individually as Shrewsbury carried on where they finished off last year getting 7 runners in the first 15 finishers to already be looking odds on to retain their title. A special mention must go to David Alun Williams who despite all his recent troubles, by completing the race on Saturday managed to complete 50 consecutive years of running at least one North Wales Cross Country League races. Well done David and a great race with Rob Mackay.

 

Thank you to the 13 clubs who have paid their subs. Please can we have all the remaining subs at the next race.

 

The next race is at St David’s College, Llandudno LL30 1RD on 5th November 2016. PLEASE park carefully.

 

Bernie Jones, Referee
