Bagworth Heath, on Sunday, was the venue for the third leg of the Derby Runner Cross Country League with 11 members from the Club lining up on the start line. In very cold, but bright weather, Louise Insley made light of the heavy conditions and undulating 5 mile plus course to record a superb 4th\u00a0and 1st WV40 place finish out of 138 starters in the women’s race. \u00a0For the first time in the series Louise had the company of another of the Club’s female athletes when Caroline Ife made her cross country debut for the Club for a well earned 136th\u00a0place finish in the women’s race.
\nLeading the Club’s men home was Chris Mason who ran well for his 59th\u00a0place out of 259 finishers in the men’s race. Chris’s run consolidated his place as leader of the MV60 category in the series. Chris Gunstone was next home with his 87th\u00a0place finish indicating his preparation for a spring marathon is going well. Andy Orme ran well for a top 100 finish with Paul McKay, managing to shrug off recent injury problems, in 121st\u00a0place some distance ahead of the returning Gavin Horton in 166th\u00a0and Ray Udall in 185th\u00a0places. The closest inter club racing was in the final three finishers for the Club with Adrian Middleton, Steve Fowler and Tony Phillips separated by 6 places in 209th, 212th\u00a0and 215th\u00a0places respectively.
\nThe next competitive action for the Club is the first race in the Leicestershire Winter Road Running League, the Barrow 6 on Sunday 27th\u00a0January 2013. Meet GBLC car park for 0900 departure.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
