\t\t\t\tDom at the sharp end!!<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe challenging course at Grace Dieu was the location for the latest leg of the Derby Runner Cross Country League & reigning Club Champion, Dominic Sharman, showed how comfortable he is at the sharp end of the field as he led the Club\u2019s contingent home in a superb 12<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> place.\u00a0<\/span>
\n In cold, wet &, in places, windy conditions Chris Pearson continued his consistent series as he finished in 23<\/span>rd<\/span><\/sup> place to keep alive his chances of a top three series finish in the MV40 category. Men\u2019s Club Captain, Andy Hawtin, ran well for 45<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> place before Simon Reynolds, who is in terrific form at present, scored valuable team points as he finished in 76<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup>. The season long inter-club rivalry between Mark Harriott & Andy Windle continued with the former edging it in 82<\/span>nd<\/span><\/sup> place to Andy\u2019s 83<\/span>rd<\/span><\/sup>. Andy Orme was his usual consistent self as he finished in 104<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> ahead of the long striding Colin Mee in 112<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> & cross country stalwart, Adrian Middleton in 114<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup>. The improving Nigel Atkins was next in 132<\/span>nd<\/span><\/sup> before Tom Eyre & James Cobb gave everything in finishing in 180<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> & 190<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> places respectively. Malcolm Moore, who continues to benefit from a good spell of injury free running, ran well for 196<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> before Paul Glover & Stuart Reeves crossed the line in fairly close order in 222<\/span>nd<\/span><\/sup> & 228<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> places. Gary Price battled hard for his 239<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> place before David Lunn, making his cross country debut in the toughest of circumstances, finished in a very respectable 273<\/span>rd<\/span><\/sup>. <\/span>
\nThe only slightly disappointing factor, and something that hasn\u2019t often happened in a really committed season, is that the Club had insufficient runners to make a team in the women\u2019s race. Having said that Tracey Glover & Lisa Wright deserve the highest praise as they gave everything to finish in 38<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> & 66<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> places respectively in fairly atrocious conditions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
