The results of the Easter Monday track meeting held at Wavertree Playground are now available.
Club results are as follows:- Pete White was sixth in the first grade one mile race with a time of 4-mins., 45.2-secs.; in the second grade one mile race Dave Noble was sixth, time 4-mins., 56.5-secs.; and Brian Chalton seventh, time 4-mins. 51-secs. Carl Gee was winner of the discus throw with a throw of 112-feet 10-inches. The surface of the throwing circle was so slippery that competitors were unable to throw with a turn. For a standing throw, the distance was a very creditable effort.
The last fixture of the cross-country season was the Sefton Park road relay race. The team race was won by Liverpool Pembroke from Sefton Harriers with Liverpool H. & A.C. third.
Wallasey A.C., unfortunately, could not muster a complete team but the times of our runners who completed the course are as follows: P. White. 11 mins. 46 secs., D. White, 11 mins. 49 secs., A. Townsend, 11 mins. 54 secs., P. Townsend, 12 mins. 10 secs, V. Bayliss, 12 mins. 44 secs. and B. Chalton, 12 mins. 50 secs.
