THE NORTHERN Vets X/C Championships were held in Wrexham on a tough rutted 10K course. All the age groups set off en mass.
First home for BUH was Eric Ranicar in seventh (2nd O/55) in 38.10, next came Mike Barnes in 13th (2nd O/60) in 39.54. In 15th Alan Fielding (10th O/50) 40.08 and in 25th Kenneth Mayor (9th O/55) 46.30.
Phil Reid had to drop out on the first lap with a twisted ankle and we thought the team prize with it, but it was a very pleasant surprise, Bolton won it just from Sale and Altrincham.
And another first for local athlete Audrey Foster of Horwich, winning the O/50 title in 44.33 from Jennifer Adams 50.34.
