Best performance by a member of Wallasey Athletic Club in the English cross-country championships held at West Bromwich last Saturday came from Ron Barlow, who finished 8th in the junior six-mile race.
In the Senior race, with 700 starters, John Wright took 37th place, Pete White was next Wallasey man home in 192nd place, just managing to pass Brian Woolford, 215th.
The club's road handicap arranged for today will not now be held, and the next race will be an invitation 6x2 cross-country relay to be held at Preston. Wallasey have a good chance and we hope to come back with some prizes.
