Roaches Results

11 Saddleworth runners at the Roaches was a reasonable turn out for the last lomg champs race of the season. The 8 men and 3 women were able to enjoy good weather conditions though the recent heavy rain had made the farmer's fields towards the end the usual miserable experience.
We had 2 finishers in the first 10 - Sean Willis 3rd, in 2.09 and Colin, 6th, in 2.17. Ray was the next finisher for Saddleworth in 2.32 with Adam Taylor, not far behind in 2.38.
Dave Bevan and Roy Gardner came in within 2 minutes of each other in 2.52 and 2.54 respectively and Charlie Barlow must be pleased with his time of 3.08. Not bad for someone who last ran 15 miles 20 years ago!
A minute later, the first of the Saddleworth women, Jill D, finished in 3.09, closely followed by Natasha in 3.10 and Suzanne in 3.11. Much too close together for comfort after a 15 mile race!
Bringing up the field for Saddleworth was Daniel Brison who, in his 3rd ever race(!) struggled to find his rhythm but finished in a creditable 3.17.
Well done everybody.
