Next race the McCain Challenge at Sefton Park on 28th November. Results National YAL. AGM As a result of the NYAL AGM the club will be in a restructured League one against Bolton, SouthportWaterloo, Crewe & Nantwich, LPS, Trafford, Wigan, Altrincham and Macclesfield. It's a more complicated structure than in previous years but in simple terms there will be four matches each consisting of three teams. In all events the first past the post will be the A string, irrespective of who has been declared as A or B. In addition all matches will be double headers. This means that there will be two three club matches taking place at the same venue but not necessarily involving clubs from the same division!!!! The one good thing arising from the fact that there are two three club matches taking place is that the club will only be obliged to produce one track judge, one timekeeper and a team of four field event judges. On the other hand ten points are awarded per official so the loss in not providing any officials will be 60 points. The dates for the four matches on the fixtures list. Please note the Northern YA Championships date has been moved to the end of May. Heanor Christmas Pudding 10k 15 November Tuhin Wahid "Chewy" finished fifteenth in this event in a time of 35.53.

The course held up much better than expected given the recent downpours, and the whole day was a world away from last year's cold, wet December date.
Juniors
There was a great turn out of 28 runners, easily the best attendance for a Cross Country race by the young athletes.
U11s were in attendance for the first time and all ran really well, with the debutants hopefully enjoying their first Cross Country race!
The U11 girls came 9th team with Alex Bottomley (31) , Adele Tate (38), Hannah Seabrook (39), Abbie Roberts (43) and Chloe Orrick (48).
The U11 boys came 4th team with an excellent performance from Adam Woosey (4), Joseph Walker (18) and Antony Walker (27).
The U13 girls fielded two teams but were missing poorly Rosie Johnson and two new members to the Club the McGoldrick twins.
The first team came 4th with Danielle Webb (11), Rachel McGoldrick (14), Lucy Griffiths (16), followed by
the second team in 8th with Maria Mcgoldrick (27), Rachel Woosey (30) , Sally Ashton (39) and Lauren Wilcock (52). The club now has a strong girls squad taking shape.
The U13 boys came 6th team with Daniel Elston (20), Owen Kennedy (31) and Paul Tate (35).
The U15 girls matched the U13s in finishing 4th team with Chelsea Jarvis (10), Vicky Lamb (21), Rachel Wilcock (25) and Louise Hayes (31).
The U15 boys came 5th team with an outstanding performance and first win for Matt Shirling, Chris Garrity (24) and Alex Bleakley (25).
The U17 girls saw a welcome return for Natalie Garrity competing again and coming a respectable 12th.
The U17 boys were the team of the day beating Sale by one point to clinch the win. John Ashcroft (2) battled for first place all the way to line with an excellent run,
supported by Jamie White (8) and Dave Griffiths (11).
A big well done to all who turned up and competed, it was a joy to watch. Team managers on the day were Adrian and Lynn Webb.
Senior Ladies Report: By Gemma Connolly Another good day weather-wise saw eight senior ladies compete on a drier course than in previous years. Gemma Connolly came in first, 6th overall with a time of 27.16, followed by Louise Hogg in 46th position (31.29 and 6th L35). The next four to finish came in within 5 places of each other, with Cheryl Orrick heading the pack on her debut (wearing trainers!) in 82nd (35.34 and 12th L35) just one place ahead of Pam Appleton in 83rd (35.52 and 4th L55). Chris Dempsey was next to finish in 86th place (36.24) but appears to be missing from the L45 category standings, unless reading all these number has made me go cross eyed (if anyone can see her on the results please let me know).** Finishing just behind Chris in 87th place was Linsey Wilson completing her second outing on the country and just getting into the L35 category before her Birthday on Tuesday (36.28 and 13th L35). Completing the team were Sarah Hattersley, making her debut on her Birthday (she must be mad) and running well to finish in 109th in 40.52 and Pauline Picton who was just behind in the standings in 113th place (44.43 and 7th L55). Overall the strengthened teams performed well with the seniors taking 8th place again and the vets team gaining an extra place from Heaton Park by finishing 7th. ** This has now been rectified. Acknowledgements Many thanks to the course setters, led by John Irwin, Janet Holmes and Colin Spark, who were on the course from 7.30 am until the last markers were collected at about 4.30 pm. They were assisted by Barry Graney, Ian Hayburn and Steve Tate. Thanks too must go to Sue Clague and her many volunteers who helped marshal the course (including Dorothy Fairhurst, Chris Dempsey, Tony Raffle, Linda White, Jane Ashcroft, Colin Spark, George Mullineux, Mike Healy, Peter Johnson, Jamie Webb, Ian Costello, Bob Johnson and Julie Woosey). Janet Holmes filled in the gaps between course setting by serving as the First Aider (and nearly had a few of the men's field to cope with, had it not been for the quick reactions of the driver who almost spun onto the course!). Thanks too to Pete Johnson and Lousie Hogg for providing the changing facilities and food and drink & next time it's going to be on a bigger scale, worth turning out just to see what's cooking... Finally thanks to all those supporting and to anyone who's been missed out, let me know. Hopefully we'll get some pictures later from the photographers who were dotted round the course. Results: Seniors and U20 Men Juniors and women Pictures Christmas Meal Steve Tate is trying to organise a Christmas meal for
