SIAB Cross-country

ROBERTS DUE HAVE THEIR OWN BATTLE

The two Roberts girls from North East Wales had their own private battle when they represented Wales at the Schools' cross-country international in Dublin.

 In the under-15s' race Mia Roberts (Brynhyfryd, Ruthin), who was making her debut after winning the North Wales championship, put up a really strong performance but had to settle for 19th place, one place behind  Holly Roberts (Glan Clwyd). Their times were 10.46 and 10.42 respectively . 

 Cari Hughes (Syr Thomas Jones) was the highest-placed North Wales athlete, coming eighth in the under-17s' race with Abbi Williams 25th.

 Oliver Barbaresi (Friars), probably the most improved youngster in North Wales over the past year, was again in sparkling form,  finishing 10th in the under-17s' race, eight places ahead of Welsh under-17s' champion Christian Smith (Darland, Rossett). In 29th place was Joseph Crutchley (Llanidloes).

 In the under-15 boys' competition the highest North Wales competitors were Rhys James, who was 24th, and Roland Finnie, who was 26th.
