Youngsters shine at Astley Park
The first Mid-Lancs cross country fixture took place at Astley Park, Chorley on Saturday. Conditions were ideal for running, although steep slopes, a wooded area and a water crossing ensured no-one emerged mud-free.
Star performers for Liverpool Pembroke & Sefton were the U15 boys team with Ross Harrison(5), Adam Jones (6th) & Tom Dickinson (7th)packing well to secure the team victory. They were well supported by Joe Houghton((13th) & Alex Laing (28th) The U15 Girls also had a team with Fran Price (23rd), Alex Barnsley (24th)& Megan Barnsley(30th) finishing in 7th place.
