Wallasey were at home last Saturday to their old friends and rivals, West Cheshire Harriers. A trail was laid over about five miles of country by E. Collins, assisted by half-a-dozen clubmates.
The pack was composed of twenty Wallasey and eight West Cheshire runners. Although Wallasey's team was almost entirely composed of novices (out of the first eleven Wallasey men to finish ten were members who have joined this season) they finished nine in the first eleven, winning by 36 points. As all last season's team are available this year it will be seen in what a flourishing condition the club is. The placings were as follows:- Wallasey: C. J. Howsen 1, A. McMaster 2, A. G. Scoins 3, A. J. Roberts 5, F. N. Barlow 7, F. Simmons 8, total 26. West Cheshire: Montgomery 4, Heywood 6, Lovatt 11, Furniss 12, A. Walker 16, total 63.
