Today, the runners in this league were mixing it with the stars and it is on days like this, you realise just how many top class athletes there are in this country. We were missing our top ladies today, but those that turned out did the club proud. Rachel Villiers had a great race to lead the Barlickers home, followed by Emma Bailey who was not running on her favourite surface today. Third home was Karen Naylor who is another female runner who is improving in leaps and bounds. It was great to see a full strength men's team out and they were led hope by the in form Tom Corrigan.

This was the first of this year's Owl Events and although he weather was reasonably good for most of the evening, the tail enders were greeted with hail and mist on the summit. First home was John Whiteside of Trawden who, by the finish, had built up a lead of almost 3 minutes lead over 2nd place Andy Berry. Third back was Carl Pawson. The event was a double for Trawden with Mollie Ralphson finishing first lady. It was good to see Karen Naylor on her first Owl event and although she had a good run to the summit, on her way back down, she found that finding the footpath round the farm in the dark is not quite as easy as in the daylight.
The guess your time prize was won by Katie Towers.
A great run out today for Emma Bailey. 1st Woman, 1st FV40 and a PB.
21 Emma Bailey 20:06 (1st Woman, 1st FV40)
