European U23 champion stars in Cumbernauld while Windsor and Bristols men and Basildon and Nuneatons women win English area cross-country titles and Izzy Fry enjoys victory in Northern Ireland

LINDSAYS SCOTTISH CROSS COUNTRY RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS, Cumbernauld, October 21

Although a national championships event by name, this was not a truly national event as roads were closed and travel all but banned north of Dundee, meaning some north-east clubs did not have the option of taking part.

In perfect conditions, GB and NI internationals Jamie Crowe and Megan Keith anchored the winning mens and womens teams Central AC and Edinburgh University Hare & Hounds who continue their domination in this event.

Keith, who ran for Britain in the World Championships at 5000m, had the quickest womens leg by 52 seconds.

The fastest mens leg was set by Falkirks Scott Stirling who this summer has improved his 5000m PB to 13:57.02 with a similar 13:56 PB on the road.

Equally dominant on the day were Giffnock North who took gold and silver in both the male and female young athletes events.

Midland Counties Cross-Country Relays, Aldersley Stadium, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, October 21

Overnight rain left the course soft in parts although the wind eased for the racing. However, with many Midland area towns under feet of floodwater the turn-out was poor especially for young athletes races, Martin Duff reports.

Men

Bristol & West dominated the senior mens event but this was only after East Midlands Grand Prix winner Haydn Arnall had given Rugby & Northampton a narrow first lap lead, with a 19:02 split for the 6km distance.

Alexander Stewart followed him home for Bristol before handing over to second fastest overall Ben Robinson who really extended the lead with an 18:32 split.  Luke Burgess extended the advantage before Jack Millar, the Inter-counties fifth placer, doubled the lead over their rivals with an 18:02 fastest lap.

This gave Bristol victory by more than two minutes as Rugby & Northampton were four minutes to the good of third placed Tipton.

Tipton won the masters event by nearly a minute from the Birmingham Running & Triathlon outfit but did not figure in the fastest lap times. James Drakefords 19:47 had given Nuneaton a big opening stage lead, ahead of BRATs Dan Robinsons 20:09 split, before Tipton went ahead through Darren Perry.

The Birmingham club kept the race honest by closing on Tipton in the second half but could not totally make up the deficit as the green and white hoops won by 50 seconds, as Drakefords time was fastest overall.

Women

Nuneaton took the senior womens race but only after a final lap chase by Rugby & Northamptons Alice Belcher fell just 10 seconds short at the tape, after closing by more than a minute over the 6km stage.

Rugby had led on the opener with Lucy Stevens third best overall 23:20 before slipping back. Then Belchers 21:55 near heroics were not quite enough as second-best overall Olivia Bailey held on with a 23:11 split.

Bromsgrove & Redditch comfortably won the Masters event after being given a good start by Lisa Thomas 24:11 before conceding mid-race to Wolverhampton & Bilstons Victoria MacKays overall fastest vets lap of 23:47. The initial order was then restored by Tamara Freemans 24:30 to give Bromsgrove the win.

Young athletes races

Participation was well down on previous years with the travel difficulties due to the weather and flooding and also a clash with the Young Athletes League the following day but Wreake & Soar Valley put in an appearance and came away with all three of the boys events whilst Cheltenham took two of the girls.

Harry Dadd led off for Wreake in the under-17 mens event and his 10:11 for the 3km distance was enough for fastest overall as his trio won by well over a minute from Telford.

In the under-15s Wreake also led throughout before closing with Noah Homers 10:12 and it was a similar story in the under-13 class as Kieran James repeated his fastest lap heroics from the Midland Road Relay, with an 11:07 clocking for the 3km stint.

Isobelle Standell gave Telford a good start in the womens under-17 event but her club then lost out to Cheltenham, the only other taker. The time was bettered by Charnwoods winning under-15 team, where Elizabeth Morley was just two ticks faster than twin sister Eleanor with 12:40.

Cheltenham beat their B team in the under-13 race but it was Annabelle Wood of Telford who was quickest with 12:22.

ENGLAND MASTERS INTERNATIONAL TEAM SELECTION TRIALS, Markeaton Park, Derby, October 14

The event was held within the North Midlands League.

Englands team for the Masters cross-country International at Glasgow was confirmed after this event with the first four places in the M35-M50 events and first three in the mens events for the M55 plus and all the womens events. The younger male events are six to run and the others four per team and the remaining places were selected by committee.

The International cross-country is not yet offering equal opportunity for gender and age!

The event here was compromised slightly when the organisers of the league event refused to allow athletes to compete in the league and the masters event which led to some confusion in the results (they were not available until four days after the event) and team selection with some athletes told of their selection which was then later changed though all athletes offered selection were at least included in the reserves.

The original team manager Matt Long has now resigned and been replaced by former managers Harry and Kim Matthews.

Midlands sixth-placer and Lee Gratton was a clear overall winner of the mens main race.

Gratton, 16th in the Inter Counties at Loughborough, won from fellow M35 Paul Wright as unusually the M35s dominated with nine of the first 14 finishers.

First M45 Jan Bailey who was fifth and first Englishman in the Masters International in Dublin, was third across the line ahead of Stephen Jackson who led home the M40s by two seconds from Rob Warner.

Ben Paviour led home the M50s from World Masters Indoor 3000m champion Anthony OBrien.

Phil Leybourne, who competed for England in the International five years ago, narrowly led home the M55s in the Vets but its worth noting that multi masters international winner Tim Hartley was a couple of minutes quicker in the league and will lead England in Glasgow.

John Convery, who was second M60 in Dublin, led home his age group narrowly from Peter Knight.

The womens race plus M65 and over men, was comfortably won by BMAF cross-country and 1500m champion Juliet Potter. Potter was second W40 in Dublin.

Becky Penty was first W35 home 25 seconds back but was the only W35 to make the top six.

W40 Rebecca Luxton just beat her fellow age groupers Nicola Curtis and Jane Hodgson to take third overall.

Sarah Murphy was sixth and the leading W45 while in tenth in-form European Masters 800m champion Nikki Sturzaker was clearly first W50.

Nicki Nealon, a multi European and World masters track medallist in the W40 age group, but has not competed in the International since being a W45 in 2014, led home the W55s though was just behind Monica Williamson, third in Dublin, who was first W60 by over a minute from Sue Cordingly.

The W65 was much closer with Lorraine Daglish finishing just two seconds clear of Jenny Morgan.

Dot Kesterton was first W70 and she was just over a minute ahead of leading W75 Angela Copson, just a few weeks after winning European W75 gold at 800m, 1500m, 5000m and 10,000m as well as relay gold.
Copson led home her age group by ten minutes from Elaine Statham

The men were led home by Jonathan Haynes, who third in Dublin and finished 24th within the womens and M65 plus race.

Kevin Newman was just 13 seconds back.

Close behind the leading 65s was first M70 David Butler who finished almost a minute ahead of Stan Owen. The 1972 Olympic 1500m semi finalist and European Indoor 3000m medallist Ray Smedley was sixth in his age group.

The M75 was unusually one of the most competitive age groups and last years Dublin winner Peter Giles, who is now aged 79, could only finish fourth here in a race won by BMAF 400m, 800m and 1500m champion Malcolm Weir from John Exley.

Englands team are expected to do better than in Dublin but it is clear that so far a separate trial race has not attracted as many leading English vets as anticipated and some suggest awarding it an England Championships event with medals might give it a greater purpose and stronger field and possibly not holding it on a league weekend might make the younger age groups stronger.
