Bright start to Red Rose for Harriers
BOLTON Harriers got off to a promising start in the Red Rose Cross Country League which kicked off in Blackburn's Witton Park last Saturday.

It was the youngest and oldest of the club's athletes who proved most successful, with good runs in the junior and veteran ranks.

William Grimshaw gave a superb performance in his first race for the club. The 10 year-old was delighted with a bronze medal in the under-11s, only tiring near the end after challenging for the lead for much of the race.

Matt Longworth was also in fine form, taking second to a Bury athlete in a competitive under-15s race. He was backed up by Andrew Griffin and Jacob McManus in 11th and 13th for second in the team event behind a strong Bury trio.

Oriel Harman ran well for sixth in the under-15s, while Rachel Pounds was fifh and Rebecca Fordham seventh in the under-17s. Robert Ashworth was 10th in the under-17s boys.
