Bridlington Road Runners men's team jump into second place in East Yorkshire Cross Country League

And the BRR women have maintained third position after more excellent performances in the fourth race of the series, writes John Edwards.

The men have edged ahead of City of Hull AC, after their six points scorers all finished in 49 minutes or below.

Scott Hargreaves was second in the race, over a course of around seven miles at Sledmere, with team-mates James Wilson and Phill Taylor in fourth and eighth overall, and the first two over-40s.

Tom Mullen, Josh Taylor and Dan Cawthorn all contributed to Bridlington’s points total.

The ladies were third at Sledmere, and were able to close the gap slightly on second-placed Beverley AC.

Jo Dagnan finished fourth as the top four clubs were separated by only a handful of points.

She was backed up by Lisa Cockcroft and Mim Ireland, in 10th and 15th place.

The Gibson family had two reasons to celebrate as Micah and mum Lucinda both recorded personal best times at Sewerby Parkrun.

Micah was in the top 20 as he led Road Runners’ junior contingent home, and Lucinda got her time down to 32:31.

Phill Taylor emerged from foggy conditions as the winner, almost a minute clear of his closest rival.

Nick Jordan and James Briggs were fourth and fifth.

Laura Nurse was the only other Brid Road Runners to record a PB, taking 40 seconds off her previous best, as she broke into the top 50 for the first time, and is now more than two-and-a-half minutes quicker than her first Parkrun in October.
