| Special mention by Cheshire AA | I met John Driscoll today at the Whitley 10k (Cheshire GP race). He told a few of us how we had come to the attention of the Cheshire County AA's notice because of our remarkable performances of both the country and the road. So much so that he was moved to include a comment in the CCAA newsletter. I will copy the paragraph here and just add that we must be doing something right when we are used as an example for all other Cheshire clubs to follow. A personal observation on the cross country season is the varied support at senior level by Cheshire clubs for this discipline. A number of clubs who have traditionally given strong support and had success were noticeably absent or had very limited participation. In contrast it was very pleasing to see another club take the opposite direction. South Cheshire H had large numbers at the County championships and picked up medals; they then had the most runners of any Cheshire club at the Northern and National championships. Perhaps there is a strong connection between that and their improved success so far in the Cheshire RR GP this year. In addition, Mike Hatton from South Cheshire was the fastest Cheshire male runner in the 117 who took part in the London Marathon Mel. Link to newsletter |

There was a race within a race at the Westbridge 5 in Stone yesterday, as South Cheshire Harriers' current top quartet finished within a minute of each other, with all four comfortably within the top 20 of the highly competitive five-mile multi-terrain race. In the end, Pete Mallinson came out on top, finishing 7th overall in a time of 28.24, followed by Mike Hatton, 10th in 28.54. Stuart Jones was 14th, and first Over 40, in 29.12 and Neil Jones was 17th in yet another personal best of 29.23. They were followed home by Andy Mayers (32.10), Charlie Rowlands (32.38) and Pete Marquis-Jones, in his first race back after injury, in an encouraging 32.52.
There was a very strong showing from the club's ladies too, with newcomer Nicola Lowe leading home the top trio in 35.15, chased in by Carol Godfrey in a personal best of 35.34, and another newcomer Ruth Price in 35.55. They were followed by Gemma Cutler (44.22), Liz Painter in a PB of 44.44, Jeanette Hatton (46.31) and Kedren Elliot (46.38).
The Harriers had 25 runners out in all - close on a tenth of the entire field - with the other finishers being Melvyn Cole (34.07), Mike Cutler (35.15), Andy Godfrey (35.40), Phil Cliff (35.42), Steve Whincup (35.50), Rob Mayers (36.33), Tony Salthouse (36.45), Mick Tobin (37.02), Colin Earp (37.33), Martin Stirna (39.56) and Colin Wynne (42.16).
On Saturday, seven Harriers competed in the Hollins Green 5k race near Warrington, the latest in the Cheshire Grand Prix road race series. Pete Mallinson was again the leading South Cheshire athlete, 14th in 17.07, followed by Neil Jones, 26th in 17.47, Mark Hough (19.42) and Mel Cole (20.08). Other Harriers were: Mike Cutler (20.40), Alasdair Dyde (21.31) and John Latham (26.41).
Elsewhere on Saturday Steve Whincup and Andy Painter ran the arduous 23k Garburn Trail Race in the Lake District, finishing in 2 hours 18 minutes and 2.22.35 respectively. At the Wincle Trout Run, a 9k fell race near Macclesfield, Ian Ankers was first home for the club in 49.54, followed by Charlie Rowlands (52.37) and Rob Rowlands (54.04).

PRESS REPORT 26th May 2008
South Cheshire Harriers spent the bank holiday weekend competing in scenic surrounds, with two races at National Trust properties and one in Snowdonia. Friday night saw four Harriers taking on a 5k in the grounds of Dunham Massey near Altrincham, with Neil Jones first home for the club in 18.06. He was followed by Mel Cole (19.59), Alasdair Dyde (21.24) and Sarah Dyde (30.21).
On Sunday, the picturesque grounds were those of Erddig near Wrexham, where Neil Jones was again the first of the Harriers, finishing 7th in the five-mile race, and first Over 40, in a personal best time of 29.54. Also competing were Mel Cole (34.38), Mike Cutler (36.15), Martin Stirna (42.58) and John Latham (44.19).
