Victory at Beacon Park

Sunday morning saw Penny Lane Striders notch up another race win, this time in the NWSCCL fixture at Beacon Park. Martin Swensson's imperious form continued with overall victory on a tough course, whilst counting positions for Neil Bullock, Neil Kelly, Bob Barrows, Jonathan Hazell and captain Dale Higham secured a comfortable finishing margin over title contenders Knowsley Harriers and Liverpool Running Club. This means that Penny Lane Striders can secure their first ever NWSCCL title with a second place finish at the Birchwood Park season finale. 

The club's women were 7th on the day and consolidated their 6th place in the overall standings. A strong debut from Sharon Samson saw her come home 10th, ahead of fellow counters Pamela Thurtle and Cristina Puccini.
