"Screw" continued his string of impressive performances on the fells by coming 10th in this energy sapping race. The mighty Calder Valley had a one-two with Ben Mounsey finishing ahead of his V40 team mate James Logue. Further down the field, Jean Rawlinson finished 93rd overall and first FV60.

This is the third year in a row that John Boothman has entered this race and he was the only Barlicker there. The race was won by Ted Mason and John trotted round to finish 52nd out of 83. As usual there were plenty of prizes including a holiday and as always there was a good craic in the Fat Lamb afterwards.

This run turned into a dual between Lucas Payne and Lee Athersmith. They pulled away from the other 96 competitors during the first lap with Lee making a couple of attempts to distance Lucas, but he underestimated the tenacity of the old fella, who dug in even harder and did the business on the final lap.

After the first race in this season's league, Barlick A are leading division three, Barlick B are leading division four and the ladies are in third place in division four. To cap all that off, our MV40 team is also leading division three.
Six Barlickers set off from Wycoller to Haworth on the Bronte Way - a race which was won by Wharfedale's Jack Smith, with two Barlickers in the top ten. As usual, this race had a social ending with free beer, soup and a roll.

Three Barlickers ran in this race on a course which started with a very fast first half. The second half was much harder - uphill and into a strong wind.

First competitive race for a while for Stephen Chew. After running round into what felt like gale force winds, he finished in 3rd place in a time of 34:39.
It was an amazing start to the cross country season with a record number of Barlickers turning out to represent their club and this included a ladies team.
Having gained promotion last year the men's A team have started the season in Division 3 and the ladies in Division 4.
A great run from Sarah Tipler saw her finish in 4th place overall and great supporting runs from Jennifer Hird and Rachel Lowther saw them finish 14th team overall, which must put them in contention for top places in their division.
As for the men, there were Barlick shirts all the way through the field, with five runners, led by Jimmy Craig, finishing in the top twenty. Along with Chris Smale who finished in 32nd position, this made Barlick the first team overall out of all divisions, with the B team finishing 9th overall. The vet's team were 7th overall.
This was indeed a very good start to the season.
