The first cross country of the new season took place at a sunny Beacon Park. The temperatures reached double figures and there was much less mud than the previous year. Wallasey AC had 20 runners and the team finished the day in fourth place. The counters were Connor McArdle (19), Greg Jones (23rd), Jez Fellick (35th), Tony Barbat (45th), Colin Palmer (46th) and Mike Kelly (51st).
