The 2009/10 cross country season has given us lots to feel good about. There was a bumper turn out from our Juniors' section, promising a rosy future for our Club. The Seniors' section has been boosted by the presence of the Proctor Boys, Fast Phil and increasingly speedy ladies,with Diane Winterburn having the race of her life in the
final event at Leigh.
