Tom Corrigan is on fire at the moment and he showed it tonight by storming to a win in this race ahead of two other pretty good runners, none other than Matt Lalor and Julian Hood. This one, two three, with five runners in the top ten, gave the club the team prize.
In the ladies race, Sarah Tipler continues her recovery following her operation and she finished second lady on the night. This performance along with that of Angela Donlan and Jennifer Hird was enough to secure the team prize for the ladies too.

Since joining Barlick only a short while ago, the record of under 16 runner Josh Boyle has been remarkable. He naturally won the junior race at Malham against youngsters of a similar age. His other four races were against senior runners where his record is two firsts and two seconds.
His latest win was in this race, where he managed to push talented Clayton runner Danny Collinge into second place. These two finished ahead of Ben Coop of Bury, who was in 3rd place.
It was also a good night for Lorraine Slater who is showing signs that she is recovering from her injury at Ilkley, by finishing 1st woman in this race .
