SIBLINGS CLAIM ANOTHER DOUBLE
Menai's Iolo and Cari Hughes produced more scintillating performances to win their races at the Welsh Cross-Country Championships in Dinefwr Park, Carmarthen.
With the exception of Wrexham's Christian Smith, who also claimed gold, and Lily Davis (Deeside) it was left to Menai to fly the flag for North Wales - and they did the region proud, coming close to securing other podium places.
Smith won the U15 class after a battle with Jake Heyward (Cardiff), while the Menai pair of Cai Linton-Davies and Oliver Barbaresi were fourth and seventh respectively. Joseph Crutchley (Maldwyn) was eighth.
Sion Jones (Menai) was the only North Walian in the under-13s' event and he came home a highly creditable ninth.
Two others who only narrowly missed out were Lily Davis, who was fourth under 17, and the much-improved Debbie Williams (Menai), who was also fourth in the senior women's race won by Swansea veteran Andrew Whitcombe.
Iolo, the North Wales under-20 champion, took the under-17 title and Cari claimed the most impressive victory of the day, winning the under-15s' race by a massive 75 seconds.
For the third successive year the senior men's race, which had no North Wales entrants, was won by the in-form GB international Dewi Griffiths (Swansea).
