Written by triathpete on January 17, 2012 – 11:40 am -

A really good number of runners, marshalls and other helpers came along to Baggeridge Country Park on Saturday 14th January 2012 to take part in the latest of the cross country league races.

We jointly hosted the event with Dudley Kingswinford Running Club and in general the whole day was a success.  The women’s team had six runners and the men’s team had an amazing 19 finishers.

Here are the men’s results from a total of 216 male finishers:

5th  Adam Thompson     38.11

9th  Mike Cornes               38.55

16th James Ratcliffe        40.12

24th Lee Moreton            41.01

25th Mike Anslow            41.06

42nd Andy Freeman       42.45

46th Chris Wood               43.12

59th Craig Jones               43.41

65th Steve Blakemore     43.45

79th Tony Price                 44.35

87th Pete Robinson         45.03

89th Neil Millward           45.29

137th Matt Cole                48.42

145th Mark Anslow         49.11

150th Paul Silk                  49.24

166th Derek Weatherhogg 50.34

179th Gareth Brazenall  52.04

206th John Whitehouse 58.03

210th Tim Price                  61.31

The top six finishers for us made up the A team and scored 121 points, which placed us an impressive second on the day.  We now have a total of 814 points, which has moved us up to fourth in the league.

The next six finishers made up the B team and this score was 425 points on the day. This total put our B team at the top of the B team table for the day, but we are not placed in the B team league because of our failure to make up B teams in the other races.

Our next race is at Stafford Common on Saturday 11th February at 2.30.  Please come along and run for us in this, the final race of this winter series.

Many thanks to all who helped us to stage this event.
