The first cross country race of the high quality Manchester league took place round Heaton Park in north Manchester on 30 October. Our team of runners looked forward in anticipation to the event, as last year the Veteran Team were promoted from Division two to the premier league. The Men’s senior team continues to languish in division two, but with the rising stars of the club, division one promotion is possible this year.
The results are
22nd Tom McGaff
37th Jim Pendrill
51st Nick Bishop
56th Mike Halman
77th Ian Smallwood
95th Ray Noble
132nd Gavin Mendham
195th Trevor Faulkner
(200 Runners approx)
Mike Halman suffered amnesia when he forgot how to tye his shoe laces (twice), resulting in a slower than expected race. Gavin managed to twist his ankle in the warm up, and finished the race in agony
