Today Wallasey Athletic Club are entering three teams in the Stretford Cross-Country Relays to be held near Manchester.
In the Boys' relay of 3 X 2 miles there is an A and B team. The A team is comprised of Dave Lockley, Paul Barrie, and Steve Walker whilst Johnny Jones, Melvin Schless and Les Watcham will run in the B team.
Our other team will compete in the youths' race, which will run in this team and a third member will be chosen from David Jackson or Mike Whiteside.
Neil Hampson will be our only representative in the Boys' under 14 2-miles open race.
Following Barrie Smith's success in the Cheshire Championships he will today be competing in the Cheshire team in the junior Inter-Counties Championships at Leicester.
Tomorrow the club has once again been invited to John Edward's farm at Foel Gap, where it is hoped an enjoyable afternoon will be spent competing in timed runs over a 3-mile hilly course.
