East Lancashire Cross Country League
11th November 2006

BLUSTERY CONDITIONS, large areas of
mud underfoot and a relatively long course made last weekend’s South
East Lancs Cross Country fixture a difficult one for all competitors. Rochdale’s star lady runner Carly
Needham was unable to compete and this gave rise to some concerns that
Rochdale may suffer in the SELCC rankings.
As it turned out, Josefa Terim and Huma Rahman gave their all to
finish in 5th and 6th place respectively.
Tracey Smith made third counter and together the ladies team
achieved second place overall. Rochdale’s Liam Smith was pushed
back to third place this week by two runners from East Cheshire &
Tameside AC. Gina
Thornton also had a tremendous run in the under 15’s race as part of
her winter training ahead of next year’s track season. The
conditions worsened as the afternoon progressed, so much so that the
team tent nearly joined in on the men’s race. Rochdale’s senior
male team took seventh place overall and the counters in finishing
order were Kris
Robinson, Ian Roberts, Chris Leach, Matthew Proctor, Brian Moore and
Nigel Shaw. The next cross country fixture is at Hyndburn (Red Rose League). |
