Borders League - Race 4 - Pensarn organised by Abergele on 03/02/2008 (Seniors)
Wallasey A.C. returned to Pensarn for a Borders League fixture after a gap of three years. The forecast of snow and high winds failed to materialise and the conditions turned out to be pleasant with little wind. The out and back course featured a run along the promenade onto a cycle track and a loop around a caravan park and then returned along the promenade. The men had 20 representatives and Tony Barbat was first home in 25th place, Greg Jones was close up next in 29th. An excellent run from Connor McArdle in his first Borders League season brought him home in 43rd place. Keith Simpson was next in 61st. The men's team retained their lead at the top of division 2 despite finishing second but must be wary of Prestatyn's challenge. The ladies maintained their top spot in division 2 after working hard for 3rd place on the day, but likewise should beware of the threat from Eyrie's ladies. Vicky Kehoe was again consistent, coming (23rd), with Nicci Davies (46th) and Anne Brimage (48th) also counting. John Cottrell and Tricia Jones lead their individual age categories after 4 races. Club chairman Bob Brimage who also had a good run after returning from injury said "Once again, great turnout & performances from Wallasey. Well done to all concerned."
