Sun. 26th Oct.
Middlesbrough's Richard Morrell won
his second successive Senior Mens' event, at yesterday's North
Yorkshire and South Durham Cross Country League fixture at Summerhill
Centre, Hartlepool.
In the muddy conditions, Morrell
dropped his main rival, Lewis Gamble-Thompson of New Marske, after the

Guesting International runner, Sarah
Tunstall making the relatively short trip from Kirkby Stephen, proved
too classy for the Senior Womens' field, coming home well clear of
Carolyn Summersgill of Middlesbrough & Cleveland.

Start Fitness North Eastern Harrier
League Sherman Cup and Davison Shield.
Temple Park, South Shields. Sat.
25th Oct.
Gateshead Harriers took the Sherman
Cup Trophy for the first time since 1993, at Saturday's Start Fitness
North Eastern Harrier League promotion at a very windy Temple Park,
South Shields. The Tyneside club ended Morpeth's run of six successive
victories.
Gateshead and Sunderland fought out a
close battle throughout, the pair actually tying on points in the
Senior Mens' event. However, a better performance in the final event
for Under 17 Men ensured victory for Gateshead. The competition was for
the best overall performance in the four age-groups. Morpeth lost any
chances, when they failed to complete a team in the Under 15 Boys'
race, but still finished third with the best three-event score.
Morpeth did however win the equivalent
competition for Women, the Davison Shield for the fifth successive
year. They were the only team to complete teams in all four events.
Gateshead and Sunderland took the minor placings on the three-event
rule.
In the individual races, Sunderland's
Gavin Massingham won a highly competitive Senior Mens' race using his
superior track speed, to sprint to victory in the final 300m.
Claremont's Peter Newton held off Junior International Ross Murray of
Gateshead for second place.
Gateshead's Kim Simpson repeated her
2007 victory in the Senior Womens' race. Elswick's Judith Nutt, who 6
days earlier won the Great Cumbrian Half Marathon at Carlisle, took
second place ahead of Jo Zoppi, whose club Heaton, won the team
event for the third time in four years.
Michael Priestley of North Shields
Poly comfortably defeated Junior Great North Run winner Marcus Cram of
Morpeth in the Under 17 Mens' race.
Guest runner Kristina Grant of
Middlesbrough won the Junior Womens' race from Jarrow newcomer
Catlin Lloyd.
Other victories went to Cameron Boyek
of Shildon (Under 15 Boys), Charmaine Porter of Sunderland (Under 15
Girls), Robbie Loraine of Gateshead (Under 13 Boys), and Sophie Forster
of Birtley (Under 13 Girls).

Hellhole 10km Multi Terrain.Tanfield Lea, Stanley. Sun. 19th
Oct.
Stewart Bell of Chester Le Street
repeated his 2007 victory in yesterday's second Hellhole 10km Multi
Terrain event at Tanfield Lea.
The British Masters 10M champion soon
headed the field closely followed by James Buis of Heaton and Jarrow
teenager, Greg Ritchie.
On the hilly course,
Bell soon opened a 100m lead over
Buis, but the gap was closed in the final kilometre with Bell crossing
the finish line 8secs ahead of his rival.
Visiting athlete James Jarvis finished
in an isolated third position.
The recent rainfall meant the times
for the course were a lot slower than last year's inaugural event.
Relative newcomer, Sarah Lister of
Blackhill Bounders, improved on her fifth placing in 2007, to win the
Womens' race. Heaton's Fiona Turley took second place.

North Yorkshire and South Durham Cross Country
League.
Croft Autodrome. Sun. 12th Oct.
Middlesbrough's Richard Morrell was a
convincing wiiner of the Senior Mens' event at yesterday's first North
Yorkshire and South Durham Harrier League fixture at Croft.
Conditions were bright and breezy, and
the going was reasonably firm.
Morrell caught early leader Gary
Dunn of Thirsk, at the halfway stage, pulling away to a 39secs
victory over his rival. Ian Twaddle of North Shiels, running as a
guest, finished in an isolated third position.
Carolyn Summersgill of Middlesbrough
& Cleveland, was never headed in the Womens' race, gaining an
emphatic victory by 1min 22secs. Veteran Tracy Waller of Hartlepool
finished strongly to take second place ahead of Loftus runner, Angharad
Owen.
Schools International Daniel Schofield
of Scarborough, who was only days too old to compete in the Junior
Great North Run (he was 5th in 2007), easily won the Under 17
race.
Shildon's Cameron Boyek, the North
Eastern 1500m champion, won a good quality Under 15 race.
Another Shildon athlete, Zoe Hewitson,
the 2007 Under 13 North East champion, was an impressive winner of the
Girls' Under 15 event.
Clubmate Amy Etherington won the Under
13 race.

Apparently 1600 runners in both races. First three times were agreed
with hand times, but the rest (chip) were 2-3secs on quick side. Looks
like 5th runner across line (manually timed at around 14:13) in younger
race, has been omitted from original result. In older race, E Smith
(17th girl) listed as Gloucestershire Schools, but she wore something
like a Gateshead vest, which was very similar to that of Bristol &
West. Weather wet for race 1 but turned out bright and dry for race 2.
