Borders League - Race 4 - Connah's Quay organised by Deeside on 22/01/2017 4.4 Miles (Seniors)
With temperatures barely above freezing and a 300 foot hill climb at mile 2, Wallasey runners faced a stiff challenge at the fourth Borders League fixture in Connah's Quay. Joe Boden was unfazed by the challenge and came home in an excellent 7th place. Other counters for the men were Greg Jones (31st), Peter Bird (37th), Connor McArdle (39th), Karl Pickstock (40th), Rob Pearse (45th), Matt Goodwin (49th), John Armstrong (53rd), Mike Green (57th), John Thelwell (66th) and Ray Clark (70th). This helped the team finish second on the day but they relinquished the overall lead to Buckley A.C. Helen Anne Stansfield led the ladies home with a great top ten finish, she was assisted by Sallie Holt (15th), Jess Smith (22nd) and Kate Ryan (27th). The top of the ladies' division was very close with eight points separating the first 3 teams, Wallasey finishing third.
