The first Saturday of 2015 heralded the beginning of the Cross Country Championship season with the Greater Manchester Championships being held at a very wet Boggart Hole Clough.
The best performance of the day came from Colin Daly who emphatically won the U15 Boys race, adding it to the U13 title he won 2 years ago. Colin also led the Trafford team of Jack Wilkinson (5th), Raffi Quirke (13th) and Mikey Kingston (16th) to the team Championship.
As a result of this, both Colin & Jack will be selected to represent the County in the Inter Counties Championships at Birmingham in March.
The U17 Men's team won silver medals in their race. Matt Sutton finished 8th & was supported by debutants Danny Shaw (14th) & Mac O'Malley (16th). Hopefully this performance will gain Matt his first ever county vest.
In the U13 Boys race, in a much larger field, Seb Patrick (13th), Alex Bailey (21st) & Cynog Williams (39th) did well to finish a team in very tough conditions.
Three Trafford girls also completed the course. The ever-present Danielle McMinn was 28th in the U15 Girls race, closely followed by Anna Baker in 29th place. Katherine McMinn finished 46th in the U13 Girls race.
The next fixture is the Manchester Area League on Saturday (10th Jan) at Heaton Park.
