The St Helens/Sutton pairing of Cecilia Fitzsimmons and Dorothy Fairhurst were the first over-50 and over-60 to finish.

The men's race went to Wigan's Andy Ward, who outsprinted Nathan Vengdasalam and Bernie Murphy (both LPS) to win in 15mins 34secs, three seconds quicker than Wrexham's Bernie Jones achieved in the last race.

Paul Cadwallader (LPS) was the first veteran home, the over50 award going to Bobby Frodsham with Brian Kerns (Wigan) edging John Clare (St Helens/ Sutton) as the first over-60 to finish.

Curtis Robb was in winning form for Liverpool, who won the Division Four British Athletics League match at Wavertree.

Rob took the 800m while Ryan Armstrong won the Steeplechase.

Adam Chamdley, Mark Leicester, Sam Moran, Joe Cant, Tom Griffiths and David Fairlong all won for Southport Waterloo in the National Young Athletes League.
