The Merseyside County Championships took place at Stadt Moers in Knowsley, fine weather and an interesting course made an excellent venue for cross country running. The surface was soft and in some places wet and muddy and some of the downhill sections were slippery. A few of senior men went off course in the middle of the race and had to run a few hundred metres extra. The ladies were most successful on the day finishing in a splendid third place which brought them a bronze county medal. The ladies counters were Sallie Holt (17th), Alison Engle (22nd), Vicky Kehoe (23rd) and Nicci Davies (28th). The men finished 5th with Greg Jones (39th), John Armstrong (40th), Tony Barbat (41st), Phil Cuthbert (47th), Keith Simpson (50th) and Mike Green (53rd) counting. Connor McArdle finished a spirited 9th in the junior men's race.
