The Northern Counties Cross- Country Championships held on January 10 at Bolton, saw one of Wallasey A.C.'s best ever team performances, led by exceptional individual performances from Bob Brimage and Ken Gibbon.
Bob, after a fairly indifferent season so far stormed through to take the first scoring position in 276th place while Ken Gibbon enjoying his best ever spell of racing was close behind in 290th. Dave Walton who has been making steady progress throughout the winter ran well for 358th; while James Downey whose form has been slightly more erratic had easily his best run of the season, in 369th. Pete Lonsdale who is never at his best on a frozen surface finished 390th with Peter Upton closing the scoring in 430th.
