Moel y Ci

CLIFFE TOP DOG IN MOEL Y CI

Veteran Martin Cliffe chalked up his third win of the year in the Moel y Ci race at Tregarth, but his winning time of 38.53 was seven seconds that last year when he finished eighth.

 The first seven finishers in a field of 131 were all Eryri Harriers, with the ever-improving Dylan Wynn Jones second and Daniel Kashi third - the university student being over three minutes faster than last year. Only five minutes separated the first 34 runners home.

 The first woman home was Chester Tri's Lisa Grantham, her time of 49.00 being over five minutes down on Andrea Rowlands' winning time in 2012. Student Becki Taylor was second and name from the past appear in third slot - Angela Brand-Barker, formerly one of the country's most successful female fell-runners.

* Editor's thought: Did Angela Brand-BARKER decide to put in an appearance because it was Moel y CI  and, if so, it's not surprising she took the lead ? Sorry.

Results (all Eryri unless stated): 1 M Cliffe (M40) 38.53, 2 DW Jones (M40) 39.29, 3 D Kashi 40.01, 4 J Parkinson (M40) 40.07, 5 A Edwards 40.07, 6 J Bacon 40.14.
