Report: Pete Torrence -

The Club's junior girls section made the long trip to Lancaster for the Northwest /Greater Manchester Road Relays on a day of bad weather with rain and high winds all day, yet .the teams really came out with flying colours.

The under-15 and under-17 girls' races were both at the same time but it was the under-15 team that had the best results of the day taking first, second and third teams places.

The A-team of Chloe Lockett, Katy Whiteoak and Juliet Downs all had outstanding runs with Katy taking the second fastest leg just 3 seconds behind Elizabeth Greenwood of Blackburn taking the gold medal.

The B-team of Hannah Richardson, Lilly McGuinness and Rebecca Jones took the silver medal and the C-team of Naomi Sinclair, Heather Corden and Georgia Bourke made it a clean sweep taking the bronze medal. Also Abbie Wood Doyle and Emiley Hughes ran well in the D-team but did not have a full team.

The under-17 girls team of Ellen Downs, Ruth Sinclair and Elizabeth Apsley had great runs to take the gold medal, also Alice Hughes had a strong run on the first leg.
