ick of some impressive running by Wirral athletes at the English Cross Country relays at Berry Park, Mansfield was 5th place by the U13 Boys. Lead-off runner , Matthew Westby produced the fastest Wirral time of 7m15.95s to finish 9th on a smoky first lap. Daniel Jarvis made up a place with 7m36.25s and Ben McGee (7m30.25s) moved up to 5th, just losing a battle for 4th with Kingston-upon-Hull with the three leaders well clear. The B team, helped by a first lap of 7m 25s from Richard Evans also had a fine run to finish 26th just 0.2sec behind the first B Team (Windsor Slough and Eton). It will be interesting to how this combination of depth and quality fares in the championships later in the season. Also in the first ten were the U15 Boys led off by Max Jeffers (17th in 6m43s) with Liam Fryer (11th in 6m53s ) and Nick Jones (6m 39s) bringing them home 8th. Jamie Parker ran 6m 52s on the first stage for the B team so they too have a capable fourth counter. Best of the rest, was 13th by the U17 Girls team ( Jess Schofield, Clare Dickers and Nicole Haviland ) and Hannah Tarvers opening lap for the U15 Girls which saw her finish 8th.

At the Northern YA Road Relays in Croxteth Park in early October, pride of place went to the U15 Boys who picked up the silver medals behind a strong Warrington trio. Nick Jones gave the team a solid start in 4th with what proved to be the fastest time by a Wirral athlete. Max Jeffers moved them into the lead on lap two, but Sam Robinson, despite a good run, was unable to hold off Warringtons star athlete, Luke Johnson, who ran the fastest lap of the race. The U13 Boys, U17 Men and U17 Women all finished 5th to ensure a successful day for the club. On the same weekend the Over 50 Men picked up the silver medals behind Oxford City at the British Masters Cross Country Relays. Well placed after Kevin Buxtons opening lap, Graham Ratcliffe, Paul Frodsham and Chris Henry came home comfortably ahead of third place Barnet&District.
