Borders League - Race 6 - Hoylake organised by Wirral on 09/04/2006 6 Miles (Seniors)
Wirral hosted the fixture along the promenade from Hoylake to Leasowe. A large field had to battle against the wind on the outward journey. Wallasey had 24 representatives for the penultimate borders league fixture of the season. Although the men did not reach the heights of previous races it was still enough to win them 1st place in division 2 on the day and strengthened their lead at the top of that division. In another close contest, the ladies finished third on the day and still stand third in division 2. First man home was Mike Stanley (15th) with Jamie Pullin (19th). Tricia Jones (11th) and Anne Taylor-Kilbane (29th) were the first ladies counters. On the individual front, Pete Lonsdale has a good lead in the over 65 mens category and Tricia Jones looks favourite to take the over 45 ladies.
