Our First Cross Country Race

Clarke Gardens, Liverpool Sun 22nd Oct

This picture doesn't really do justice to the amount of mud caked on my legs at the end of the race, but if I told you how wonderfully smooth and soft they felt after a shower (purely down to the mud treatment) wouldn't you just want to sign up to every cross country race right now!

Still having some doubts - well OK, cross country races arn't for everyone, ask Kath Thow - poor Kath swore blind she didn't want to do any xc races, but still turned up for the team. Well done to Kath and to everyone else who proudly wore their Pink Panther T-shirts and ran their hearts out.

As an extra bonus we even adopted a new recruit, welcome to Denise Jackson who was temted to run for Newburgh Nomads as she loves doing cross country, but liked our kit better, showing what good taste she has.

The team came in a very creditable 7th position and I think we all enjoyed the free butties and tea afterwards as a reward for our efforts.




The A team included;-
Name Position
Paula Gatterll 16
Diane Powell 25
Kath Thow 34
Janet Decamp 50
Denise Jackson 55
