The second round of this season’s East Yorkshire Cross Country League saw Bridlington Road Runners men’s and women’s teams take third place.

On a revised route, because Welton Dale was closed for emergency tree work, a strong contingent from the Bridlington club tackled a course of around 6.6 miles, writes John Edwards.
