17 members braved the winds and rain of Wrenthorpe to take on a very challenging 2 and a half miles in the January event. Mark Domaille took full advantage of Craig Heppenstall’s absence to hoist himself 6 points clear at the top of division one. The gap in division two is also widening, with Tony Audsley heading the chase for minor honours. The Vets table is closer than it has been for some time with Mark Domaille and Stuart Anderson level pegging, whilst the ladies table has Dot well ahead once more.

The actual run was led all the way by Adam Cooper and he was 19 seconds clear at the finish. There was a thrilling fight for second place in the last 200 metres, with Dave Needham rapidly gaining ground on Darren Worton. Darren crossed the line marginally ahead but we couldn’t separate them on times. Jane Senior made her debut appearance and had a superb run, clocking 20-47 for the hilly course. Jane, who is in training for the London, admitted to having run 15 miles that morning too! Hope to see you at the rest of the meetings, Jane.

System for the Leagues

Just a reminder - The men’s league is now divided into three divisions. Points are awarded on the basis of where an athlete finishes in his division. So, 1^st home in each division will score 10 points and so on. Points credited to each athlete up to the dividing stage have been divided by two and carried forward to the new structure - so if you had a score of 80 after six events, you have carried 40 into your new division (we have rounded up odd scores).

At the end of the “season” the top of each division will receive awards (divisions 2 and 3 are likely to be medals).

The Ladies and Vets leagues remain the same as before with the Vets points awarded on the basis of positions in relation to other vets (so 1^st Vet gets 10, 2^nd gets 9 and so on) with Vets over 50 having their score doubled and Vets over 60 trebled.

Accounts

We had £72 in the kitty. 17 members paid £1-50 each to give us £25-50, prizes cost us £10, so we have £87-50 remaining.
