Borders Series - Fifth Race

The penultimate race in the Borders Cross-Country series took place on
Sunday at Spittal beach in Berwick-Upon-Tweed with several runners

The windy conditions on the day didn't faze young Andrew Crichton who
took fourth place overall in the senior race, against some stiff
competition, with a time of 28:29. Club mate Stuart Hay took 8th
place in 29:00, with George Gilhooley not far behind in 11th place in
29:36, closely followed by Grant Noble taking 12th place in 29:40.
Ross Combe finished in 32:48, with Steve Pattison, Rhona Anderson,
Anne Hay, Andrew Anderson, Mary Pattison and Scott Turner all
competing strongly on the day.

The junior race attracted a good sized field with Dunbar's Alex Noble
finishing 5th overall in 15:00, with Cameron Law having another
excellent run finishing in 17:02 and Elliot Mullen completing the
course in 17:49, with Joanne Lindsay almost finishing level with
17:50. Dunbar's Hamish Law finished in 18:16, with Nicole Turner
(18:33), Katie Proudfoot (20:22), Joe Kowbel (20:25), Gemma Bolton
(22:29), Callum King (23:27), Kirsty Wilson (23:48), Megan McLaren
(24:00), Katrina Maguire (24:11), and Claire Denholm, (27:56) all
putting in performances to be proud of in the strong headwind to the
