Ian Livesey managed to secure an elite entry to this race and he was rewarded by being the first Brit and finishing 5th overall in a time of 2:35:39.
A great performance from Ian.
As we have alluded to previously, our ladies are on fire at the moment. In this race, they were first ladies team, not just in their own division, but overall, and in addition, they were also first overall FV35 team. What a performance!.
The first ladies team was:
Sarah Tipler, Lorraine Slater and Angela Donlan.
The first FV35 team was:
Lorraine Slater, Angela Donlan and Rachel Villiers.
The men put in a good performance and a special mention has to be made of Marc Hartley. Following his recent medical problems, his doctor told him not to run, but ignoring that advice, he had a test run out last week at the Burnley Park Run (where he finished in first place) and this week, he had another cracking run to finish just behind Matt Lalor. His contribution, along with the rest of the team, led Barlick to finish in second place and put us in a strong position to challenge for the first division title.
In the Men's League the counters were:
Matt Lalor, Marc Hartley. Lee Parrington, Mark Holgate, David Mills & Andrew Chew
In the Junior League, our U11 boys did well to finish 2nd against Clayton le Moors. The team was:
Jacob Reeday, Harley Treitl & Ben Thompson.

The Barlick 6 man team made the short trip to sport city in Manchester hoping to improve on last year's 11th place. Tom Corrigan was running on leg 1 and put in a cracking performance bringing the team home in 31st out of 110. It was then Jimmy Craig on leg 2 and as always he put in his usual charge on leg 2 taking back 12 places and bringing the team up to 19th. Leg 3 was the turn of Gary Shaw who took another 2 places and the team were on their usual charge and in 17th. Leg 4 saw Matt Lalor take another 2 places and the boys were 15th. It was turning out to be a big battle with Blackburn Harriers and it was up to Ian Livesey to hold off Blackburn's main man, Ben Fish. Livers responded to the challenge and ran the fastest Barlick leg of the day. The team were now 13th and were in touching distance of a top 10 spot. Luke Maude then ran hard, pulling two places back quickly, but Blackburn held on for 10th with the lads equalling last years 11th place. The standard of competition was however quite a bit higher this year. It was a cracking performance from the lads. The Nationals now await them at Sutton in two weeks time.
The leg positions and leg times were:
31 Tom Corrigan 17.38
19 Jimmy Craig 17.31
17 Gary Shaw 17.49
15 Matt Lalor 17.44
13 Ian Livesey 17.15
11 Luke Maude 18.19

Our girls seem to be showing the way at the moment. First woman in this race was Lorraine Slater. She is a tough cookie in any race, but definitely one to contend with on the fells.
