The cross country season got underway at Arrowe Park with the first league fixture in the Liverpool & District Cross Country Union series of races. The course had pockets of mud but conditions underfoot were generally good. The team, consisting of 20 men and 11 women, finished in third place on the day. The six counters were Joe Boden, (12th), Rob Pearse (16th), debutant Jay Walker (21st), Jack Poland (30th), Matt Gillbanks (31st) and Pete Clarke (33rd).
