\t\t\t\tJack\u2019s the Lad<\/strong>
\nOn a day when the Club’s runners were in action at three venues, from the perspective of this year\u2019s Derby Runner Cross Country League, it was great news that Jack Leafe was back from university to lead the Club\u2019s runners home in the latest race in the series at Bagworth Heath. Cold & muddy was anticipated & the 29 runners from the Club weren\u2019t disappointed as they faced the challenging 6.5 mile course. With Jack finishing in a superb 13th<\/sup> place in the men\u2019s race, Chris Pearson making light of the conditions to finish in 16th <\/sup>and training partner Shane Chapman battling well for 37th<\/sup> place, three finishers in the first 50 was a good result for the Club. Mark Harriott, who is in excellent form at present, was next in 87th<\/sup> before Andy Orme & Steve Leafe continued their season long rivalry as they finished in 104th<\/sup> & 106th<\/sup> places respectively. The inter-club racing continued as Tom Eyre, Andrew Windle & Christian Glover were virtually inseparable as they gave their all in finishing in 116th<\/sup>, 117th<\/sup> & 118th<\/sup> places. Jon Mayman ran well for 134th<\/sup> place before Adrian Middleton, who relishes the mud, finished in 170th<\/sup>. It was great to see Colin Mee back in racing action & he\u2019ll be the better for this run & his 195th<\/sup> place finish as will Club stalwart, Malcolm Moore as he finished in 205th<\/sup>. James Cobb & race debutant, Stewart Laing, were close in 213th<\/sup> & 214th<\/sup> places before XC debutant Romain Chambard, Paul Glover &, the redoubtable, Ray Udall continued the theme as they finished in 235th<\/sup>, 236th<\/sup> & 238th<\/sup> places respectively. Mark Nixon, another who prefers the country to the tarmac, ran solidly for 277th<\/sup> place before one of the Club\u2019s most improved runners, Richard Ward, gave his usual 100%, in finishing in 292nd<\/sup>. It was also good to see Steve Fowler, Tony Phillips & Gary Price back in racing action as they finished in 302nd<\/sup>, 309th<\/sup>, & 310th<\/sup> with the improving Stuart Reeves completing the men’s race finishers in 313th<\/sup> place.
\nThe Club\u2019s women\u2019s team were also missing a number of regulars but the five who completed the course, Tracey Glover (37th<\/sup>), Lisa Wright (47th<\/sup>), Jenny Winter (67th<\/sup>), Heidi Elliott (118th<\/sup>) & Inge Moore (163rd<\/sup>) gave everything to the cause in the energy sapping conditions.
\nOn more firm footing seven of the Club\u2019s runners were in action in the Matthew Walker 10k with Men\u2019s Club Champion designate, Dominic Sharman storming round in a chip time of 36.07 and a superb 10th<\/sup> place out of 870 who completed the course. James Cassidy, taking advantage of his recent marathon training, recorded a superb PB for the distance as he stopped the clock in 36.59 & 18th<\/sup> place. There was a really tight battle between Tom Bradley & Louise Insley with Tom edging it in finishing places (38th<\/sup> & 39th<\/sup>) but with Louise credited with a chip time of 38.44 to Tom\u2019s 38.45. Chris Gunstone gained his reward for some solid training as he also recorded a PB of 39.30 for an excellent 52nd<\/sup> place finish. Maria Allen & Stuart Halsey crossed the line together in the very respectable identical time of 55.28.
\nAndy Hawtin & David Lunn were in challenging half marathon action at Clowne. Andy recorded a superb PB of 1:21.21 for 14th<\/sup> place with David also running well to finish in 1.54.53, a massive 15 mins quicker than he ran the same course in last year.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
