| Border League nov 13 2011
Club Members double up TWELVE members of Prestatyn Running Club deserve special praise after “doubling up” at the weekend, turning out in the Borders Road Running League less than 24 hours after competing in the third fixture of the Grand Prix Express North Wales Cross-Country League at Northop. The men finished fourth in Division 2 on the day, the Masters were fifth and the ladies a highly creditable third. Having run for her first-claim club Denbigh the previous day Emma Collins made her Borders League debut in the red vest at Birkenhead Park and she had another storming run, leading the ladies home in 103rd place overall. It was also brilliant to see Jayne Penrhyn-Jones back in action after about two years out with injuries, though her final position was not known at the time of going to press.
Russ Cheetham continued his impressive improvement, and loyal second-claimer David Alan Jones become a member of the elite band to have completed 100 Borders League fixtures.
Cross-Country placings were:- Senior men: 35 Matthew Anwyl 35.34, 51 Dean Longley 36.22, 57 Griff Owens 36.55 (1st M60), 59 George Nicholls 37.15, 98 Gareth Bailey 40.34, 104 Russ Cheetham 40.56, 124 Arwel Jones 42.38, 152 David Owen 48.27. M70: 1 Ron Harrison-Jones 22.14, 2 Roger Harrison-Jones 22.48, 3 David Hughes 23.09. Ladies: 21 Jo McDonough 20.35, 37 Katie Brandrick 21.17, 44 Shelley Ward 21.40, 45 Brenda Tiedtke 21.43, 48 Gay Waring 21.59, 59 Eleri Goddard 23.34, 63 Eleri Jones 24.05, 73 Sharon Jones 25.05, 72 Glenda Davies 25.07, 80 Helen Baxandall 27.01.
The Border League placings (excluding Jayne Penrhyn-Jones) were: 49 George Nicholls, 83 Gareth Brandrick, 87 Griff Owens, 103 Emma Collins, 107 Russ Cheetham, 141 Paul Brandrick, 150 Jo McDonough, 158 Tony Benton, 161 Arwel Jones, 167 John Hughes-Roberts, 174 Mike Lindsay, 177 Sian Beck, 182 David A Jones, 203 Glenda Davies, 205 Brenda Tiedtke, 211 Gay Waring, 261 John Jones, 262 Eleri Jones, 264 Eleri Goddard, 275 Helen Ashcroft, 278 Sharon Jones, 297 Gill Brandrick.
Several members will be in action again this weekend, with the Penmaenmawr fell-race on Saturday and the Conwy half-marathon the following day.
On November 23 the regular club session will not be held at Saints but at Marsh Tracks in Rhyl where an experimental 5k race will be held.

George Nicholls, who had also competed in the cross-country, led the under-strength men’s team home in 49th place, with Gareth Brandrick having an excellent run as second finisher. Third man home on both days was the evergreen Griff Owens, who won the M60 class at both meetings.
