Three top 10 finishers helped Bridlington Road Runners’ men keep the pressure on the leading teams after the second round of the East Yorkshire Cross Country League.

BRR sent a strong contingent of 40 to Welton, to tackle a 6.7-mile course, in an event hosted by Goole Viking Striders and Selby Striders, writes John Edwards.

James Wilson, Danny Brunton and Phill Taylor took fourth, sixth and eighth spots respectively, to keep Brid in touch with City of Hull AC and Beverley AC, who were leading after the Wetwang opener.

The trio were backed up by club captain Tom Mullen in 13th, with Andrew Yeomans and Simon Ellerker comfortably finishing in under 50 minutes to complete the scoring for the yellow and blacks.

The men were third team at Welton and retain third position in the overall standings.

Bridlington’s women were again out in good numbers and were led home Mim Ireland and Clare Gummerson, who were only separated by around a minute in 20th and 22nd.

Kerry Whitehead and April-Marie Exley beat the one hour mark to add points. Their overall score of 120 was better than at Wetwang, but they dropped from fifth to sixth overall, however they will look to reel in Yorkshire Wolds Runners at the Bishop Wilton event in December.
