GP Express NWCC League (4)

MUD PROVES TO BE NOTHING UNTO-WARD

There was a sense of deja-vu about the fourth  fixture of the Grand Prix Express North Wales Cross-Country League at Lilleshall where Telford's Paul Ward and Richard Roberts (Eryri) renewed their battle from last year.

 In very muddy conditions the two pulled away from the rest of the field early on and were at close quarters for three of the four laps until the Shropshire veteran put his foot down to repeat last year's success.

 Though the meeting clashed with the BUCS championships in Brighton and Bangor University finished sixth on the day they still hold a 30-point lead over Eryri but will be made to work hard in the final race next Saturday if they are to win the Division 1 title for the first time.

 Shrewsbury top the Masters' table while Eryri's ladies are virtually sure of their Division 1  title. They were second to Oswestry on the day but are 67 points clear.

 With only 43 ladies finishing the field was about half the normal size.

 * Among the placings in the BUCS championships were:- Men: 136 Daniel Kashi (Bangor) 46.04, 146 Joe Hudak (Bangor) 46.28, 192 Owen Mitchell (Bangor) 48.23, 205 William Woodrush (Aberystwyth) 49.01, 206 Harry Mullen (Aberystwyth) 49.05, 255 Johnny Ryan (Aberystwyth) 52.31, 262 Tim Brook (Aberystwyth) 53.00.
