28th January races...

Twelve Exmouth Harriers took part in the Broadclyst Bimble, a thirteen mile cross country race, and did really well to achieve four of the first six places. The course was reasonably good this year and drier than usual and 160 runners completed the race.

The winner was Andrew Chambers of Exeter Harriers in 1.21.46, just 21 seconds ahead of Tony Hatchard, the first Exmouth Harrier to finish after an outstanding performance.

Dave Stone was 4th in 1.31.59, with Hugh Marsden 5th after an excellent run in 1.32.25. Shaun Lock was 6th in 1.33.08.

Joe Pascoe came 13th in 1.36.51 and Adrian Kearns 25th in 1.43.57. Paul Champion was 43rd in 1.49.07 and Tim Gent 52nd in 1.54.03.

Both the Exmouth ladies had good runs with Stef French 95th in 2.08.41 and Dawn Teed 100th in 2.10.12.

Diccon Haynes came 104th in 2.11.41 and Trevor Cope 145th in 2.34.24.

The South West Veterans Cross Country Championships were also held on Sunday, at Pinn Farm close to High Peak. The 8 K race was won by Mike Feighan of Exeter Harriers in 30.39.

The 6 K v65 race was won by Chris Barretto of South West Vets A C in 27.58. Two Exmouth Harriers, Ray Elston and John Perratt, took part. Ray had a superb race for 2nd v65 in 30.10 and John was 3rd v65 in 31.15.
