On Sunday 14th November 2021, Claire Hesketh, Mike Jarman and Alison Mounter travelled up to the Town Moor in Newcastle to take part in the Heaton Harriers Memorial 10K.  After a minute’s silence to commemorate all those that have fought for our country the race set off at 11 am.  Claire and Mike had a superb race finishing together in 47.55.  Claire was awarded 2nd prize in her age category.  Alison, running her very first 10K race, crossed the line in 67.37.  

Sunday 21^st November saw the third meeting of the NYSD Cross Country League.

The sun was shining brightly at Croft Racing Circuit but a cruel northly wind was blowing across the course.

Before the races started each club had to erect their tent, no mean feat in that wind!

The course was around the perimeter of the race track, 3 laps for women, 4 for men. As it had been fairly dry lately, the grassy banks were negotiable, though it was awkward running on the side of the slope.

The two Teesdale women were: Louise Franks, finishing in 101^st place in 44.12 and Judith Rodwell, 106^th in 45 minutes.

For the men: Dave Walters came in 74^th in 37.53, Nigel Mawer 95^th in 38.55 and Dave Raymond 126^th in 41.46.

After packing up the tent, everyone went home to thaw out and look forward to the next meeting on 5^th December at Summerhill.
