Latest Winter League report from John
Hodgson
This is getting beyond the joke now you guys. There had been no junior
training sessions for the three weeks prior to last Sunday's races at
Ulverston, and what happens? Not only does Jacob Steele lead the U14
field home for a second time, but Sarah Thompson is getting into the act
as well in the U17's.
Sarah's dad was predicting another win for her rival, Ellie Lambert from
Wharfedale, as the course would suit her and Sarah had run in the
Northern Club X-country championships at Knowsley the day before.He was
therefore quite taken aback when Sarah appeared well ahead galloping
down the hill to the finish. "Oh hell," he was heard to mutter, 'That is
going to cost me another half dozen cream eggs."
Well done to Alfie Walton and Eddie Leedham in the U 12's; Charlotte
Goodfellow and Vicky Leedham with Jacob in the U14's and special mention
to Tom Harkes getting in front of Jack Sharples for the first time and
to Will Leedham and Maddy Bell for all their efforts in the U 17's.
Finally, just to remind all juniors that the Sportshall at Heversham
is the new venue for Monday nights training session, but we cannot
guarantee you will race better afterwards, but you will have to work
hard and hopefully have some fun.
John
