North Staffs Cross country league Race 1 Winsford.


Its that time of year that the Cross country season is now firmly back and the days are getting colder with the grounds getting muddy.



First up was North staffs league at a new venue of Winsford. The weather was superb and the course was the best we've ever seen for a north staffs meeting. The ladies and junior men were up first. Ryan Heath put in a superb performance to finish 5th . Kim fawkes had a brilliant come back run finishing 1st overal, Michelle Clarke came 3rd, Cheryl Evans was 21st, Juliet Hoad 22nd, Lisa Blagden 35th and making her debut was Jenny Hinton in 61st. This impressive performance from the ladies gave them a 4point lead over Vale royal.

The mens race was lead from start to finish by Chris Davies coming back from some time off due to injury, Mark Dalkins was 3rd, Wayne Daspher 10th, Nick Andrews 26th, John Garmson 44th, Kevin Fisher 55th, Paul Williams 60th, Dave Talbot 80th and another athlete returning from injury Rick Hailey in 90th. The team is up against some very strong opposition with both Staff Moorlands and city of stoke scoring very low points leaving us 63points of first spot. Not impossible to drag back if we can get a few more runners out to take points away from the other teams.

Next race in the North Staffs Calender is 6th of November at Park hall country Park, Weston Coyney, Stoke on Trent.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.
