Northern - Cross Country Championships - Witton Park, Blackburn on 23/01/2010 12 Km (Mens)
Wallasey had 15 runners at the Northern Cross Country Championships held in the fog at Witton Park in Blackburn. The 3 ladies set off first on the muddy course and Sallie Holt led them home running well for 130th place, she was followed by Sharon Lamont (160th) and Alison Engle (189th), the ladies were one short of a complete team. Next up was Connor McArdle who also put in a good effort crossing the line in 70th place in the under 20 men. The men's team finished 32nd which was a little down on last year's effort but the men can be proud of their run in particular conquering the hills, four ascents of the hill on the 'teaspoon' was enough to turn the legs to jelly. First home once again was Greg Jones with Tony Barbat, Phil Cuthbert, John Armstrong, Richard Perry and Matt Williams the other counters. Bob and Anne Brimage helped make the race a success by assisting with putting on the event.
