Dominic Sharman, the current Men\u2019s Club Champion, made light of the conditions, with a superb 8<sup>th<\/sup> place finish in a very competitive race. Team wise he was ably supported by Andy Hawtin &amp; Chris Pearson who both ran superbly to finish in 26<sup>th<\/sup> &amp; 40<sup>th<\/sup> places respectively. Mark Harriott showed what a valuable recruit he\u2019ll be as he finished in 57<sup>th<\/sup> place before Simon Reynolds, who is in great form at the moment, crossed the line in 69<sup>th<\/sup> place. There were also superb top 100 finishes for Christian Glover &amp; Andy Orme in 96<sup>th<\/sup> &amp; 98<sup>th<\/sup> places with Tom Eyre &amp; Andy Windle breathing down their necks in 101<sup>st<\/sup> &amp; 105<sup>th<\/sup> places respectively.

The tightest inter-club battle though involved super-vet Ray Udall, James Cobb, Malcolm Moore &amp; Stuart Reeves who were separated by seven places in 195<sup>th<\/sup>, 197<sup>th<\/sup>, 200<sup>th<\/sup>&amp; 202<sup>nd<\/sup> places respectively. Mark Nixon ran well for 216<sup>th<\/sup> place before Club stalwarts Steve Fowler &amp; Richard Ward completed the Club\u2019s finishers in the men\u2019s race in 226<sup>th<\/sup> &amp; 228<sup>th<\/sup> places.<br \/>\nTracey Glover gave her usual maximum effort as she led the Club\u2019s women home in 37<sup>th<\/sup> place with great support from Lisa Wright in 56<sup>th<\/sup> &amp; Jenny Winter in 73<sup>rd<\/sup>.\u00a0 \u00a0Karen Wilks ran well for 113<sup>th<\/sup> place before Kat Smith &amp; Club Chairman, Inge Moore, gave everything as they finished in 137<sup>th<\/sup> &amp; 142<sup>nd<\/sup> places respectively.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mud no handicap for Dominic It was a relatively short journey to Allestree for the latest leg of the 2015\/16 Derby Runner Cross Country League for the 28 competing members from South Derbyshire Road Runners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-race-reports","no-thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdrr.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdrr.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdrr.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdrr.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdrr.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sdrr.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2721\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdrr.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdrr.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdrr.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
