Jamie Kingston wins in Tonbridge as Nicole Taylor drops out in our UK results round-up

KENT LEAGUE, Somerhill Park, Tonbridge, October 29

Tonbridge dominated the men’s race with South of England under-20 silver medallist James Kingston, a mainstay of his relay team, had an easy win over team-mate Ben Cole as again his club dominated proceedings as they packed four in ten.

On the tough Somerhill Park course with close on 600ft of climbing, he won by over 200 metres.

Teweldebrhan Menges was an isolated third as 2:14:32 marathoner Ross Braden finished fifth as he admitted a lack of training since his London breakthrough at the start of the month.

Tonbridge also looked to be on their way to an easy women’s win but Nicole Taylor, who won the first fixture earlier in the month, dropped out with a calf injury on the second of two laps and didn’t want to risk it further on the very tough course.

Blackheath’s Andrea Clement, who won the BMAF title on this course in March, thus stepped up to first place after a second at Swanley and won by almost two minutes from Verity Hopkins of  Tonbridge and Blackheath won the team event with three in five.

SURREY MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIPS, Nonsuch Park, Ewell, October 29

Duncan Woolmer comfortably took the county title but the team race went to Ranelagh whose first runner was outside of the top 10 in the multi-age-group race, Martin Duff reports.

Third placed Ben Paviour led home the over-45 runners while Southern champion Steve Winder was top M50 in fifth. Last year, Guildford & Godalming’s top two M55 runners went up to the British Masters relay championships in Long Eaton but here, were the top two M55s in the county. This year, Terry Booth and Mark Tennyson made do with county titles.

The over-60 men ran with the women and first home was South London’s David Ogden, narrowly ahead of Striders’ Matthew Stone.

Further back, team mate Glenn Quarton won M65 and M75 Peter Giles of Hercules Wimbledon, headed all of the M70 runners.

Women’s winner, 40-year-old Gabriel Carnwath, a 2:49 marathoner, chased home the top two over-60 men and took advantage to win by a minute from fellow W40 Hayley Cargill.

Top W45 Mary James was not too far down, as leading over-50, Debbie Jackson was two minutes down from the first woman home, as top W55 Rachel Brunswick was a further two minutes back but enough to head second placed Ola Balme.

Phyllis Flynn took the W60 gold and Anna Garnier was top W65 more than three minutes clear of winning W70 Jane Davies.

Start Fitness North Eastern Harrier League, Lambton Castle, October 29

Runners from the slow pack that set off first, dominated proceedings with seven of the first ten going from the first group.

Under-20 athletes Josh Blevins – the reigning English under-17 5km champion – and English Schools 800m finalist Chris Perkins battled for victory with Blevins ultimately winning by 26 seconds.

The pair proved far from ‘slow’ and fast pack runner Jarlath McKenna (35:17)  who set off five minutes 15 behind them and finished eighth across the line in the handicap was the only athlete significantly faster but medium pack athlete  Luke Davis (36:33), who set off at 2:37 was slightly quicker than Perkins.

Morpeth won the division one team event as 548 men finished.

Slow pack runners also led home the women’s race with Division three runners Jess Young and Helen Waugh finishing well clear of Medium pack runner Morag Stead who took a minute off of the pair ahead but still fell a minute short due to her 2:27 handicap but did win the Division one race.

Stead ended up third fastest overall with a 29:13 as fast pack runner Danielle Hodgkinson was comfortably quickest with a 27:25 and she was fifth across the line despite a 5:15 handicap as 445 women finished.

Tyne Bridge won the team event.
