Margaret Ashcroft and Barbara Majunder of Wallasey Athletic Club finished fifth and sixth in the women's Northern Cross-Country Championships at Blackburn last Saturday.
They were in a team of four including Susan Lloyd and Mary Caldwell (who finished 30th and 31st) which was second overall. It was a good performance on a tough, muddy Blackburn course.
In the women's minor race Eta Rose and Allison Pickles ran well judged races to finish 81st and 90th.
The men's championships were held at Halifax and over 350 entered. Bob Brimage finished 156th, Don Strand 257th and Len Durban 254th. In the boys' race Mike Tunstall ran well to finish 49th in a field of 200.
