'Paul Cross, Heidi Williams and Irisha Cross of Romsey Road Runners all competed in the penultimate Boscombe 5K race of the winter series last Friday. A few inches of sand blown up onto the promenade and darkness due to non-working street lights meant times were not as fast as usual, despite conditions on the night being calm. Paul finished in 22:09, Heidi in 22:47 and Irisha in 23:17.

Paul and Irisha were in action again two days later when they completed the Southampton 5K Road Race in 21:16 and 22:00 respectively.

It was Romsey Road Runners' turn to marshal the 5th CC6 Cross Country event which took place in the New Forest at King's Garn Gutter, Stoney Cross. A few members were able to run as they had arranged for their marshalling duties to be covered by others. Results: Men; Jim Wright 15th, Nick Saunders 28th. Ladies: Lynne Whitaker 3rd, Jane Field 9th, Mary Corbett 10th, Wendy Couper 35th.

'Before Monday's training session, a letter was read out from Anne Bruce-Low from Hardley Runners who finished in last place. She wished to thank the race sweeper, Ollie Cutbill, who made a good race a lot more enjoyable.'
