This afternoon, Wallasey Athletic Club are staging the fourth annual Wallasey Schools' Cross-Country Championship and Youth Championship, from their headquarters, Leasowe Road, Wallasey, (adjacent to the Leasowe Road Playing Fields), the first race, the Youth Championship, being timed to start at 3-15 prompt.
In the Wallasey Schools' Championship, Moreton Secondary Modern School, the present holders of the A. G. Nicholson Challenge Cup, are again defending their title, having won the trophy on the last three occasions, but with an entry of fourteen teams from seven schools, comprised of over 120 runners, the issue will be in doubt right until the end of the 2¼ mile course planned for this race.
Medals will be awarded to the first three teams and the first individual.
