Sunday 21st November saw the third meeting of the NYSD Cross Country League.

The sun was shining brightly at Croft Racing Circuit but a cruel northly wind was blowing across the course.

Before the races started each club had to erect their tent, no mean feat in that wind!

The course was around the perimeter of the race track, 3 laps for women, 4 for men. As it had been fairly dry lately, the grassy banks were negotiable, though it was awkward running on the side of the slope.

The two Teesdale women were: Louise Franks, finishing in 101st place in 44.12 and Judith Rodwell, 106th in 45 minutes.

For the men: Dave Walters came in 74th in 37.53, Nigel Mawer 95th in 38.55 and Dave Raymond 126th in 41.46.

After packing up the tent, everyone went home to thaw out and look forward to the next meeting on 5th December at Summerhill.
