BIRMINGHAM LEAGUE, Division 1, Match 1, Cheltenham, November 11

Will Barnicoat, the English National junior cross-country champion, led a trio of Birmingham University students to the head of the field as the ever-popular league resumed after its summer break, Martin Duff reports.

The Aldershot first claimer essentially just did enough to win over Tomer Tarragano and Oliver Smart as only BRATs Charlie Davis, second in the last match of last winter, and former winner George Beardmore broke up the student domination.

Birmingham University were comfortable winners of both the A and B team competitions over newly promoted and last seasons division 2 champions Western Tempo, who ousted the other regulars by taking second and the Masters team plaudits.

Birchfields Ed Banks, who was overall masters champion last winter was again top veteran as he mixed it with his younger rivals.

CHILTERN LEAGUE, Milton Keynes, November 11

For the past few years this event at the picturesque Teardrop Lakes has played host to a round of the British Athletics Cross Challenge. However, with the fixture calendar scheduling affected by the changing date for the World Cross, it has lost that honour, Martin Duff reports.

Despite this it still had an Olympian at the head of affairs as Bracknells Zak Seddon ran out a comfortable senior mens race winner over Lutons Jed Noblett.

Both were from clubs in the second division of the league as was fifth placed Ricky Harvie, Seddons Bracknell clubmate. They were split by the Bedford pair of Harry Brodie and James Minter.

Last year, Milton Keynes Jacque Smith had a clean sweep in the under-13 races before losing out in the opening match this winter at Keysoe but, here, was back in winning ways by taking the under-15 boys event from High Wycombes Edward Faulkner.

The senior womens race saw Rebecca Murray, the English National fifth placer, again post a comfortable victory over Milton Keynes W40 Lara Bromilow, who has upped training in a bid for a good time in the Valencia Marathon.

Emma Mears from the division two outfit the Milton Keynes Distance Project, was a distant third.

Phoebe Gill, the Commonwealth Youth Games 800m gold medallist, enjoyed a solid victory in the combined junior and under-17 womens race, with Lily Farr over half-a-minute down.

Katie Webb, the English Schools sixth-placed runner, made it three league wins in a row in the under-15 girls race ahead of Milton Keynes team mate Sophia Chapman.

Overall, it was host Milton Keynes who played on home advantage to outscore all of the other clubs here and also lead after two matches in the multi-age group team competition.

HAMPSHIRE LEAGUE, Popham Airfield, Basingstoke, November 11

Jack Rowe, who missed the tight finish and second place achieved by his Aldershot club in the English National cross-country relays a week earlier, was back in action to lead his team in this the second match of the season, Martin Duff reports.

After winning the London Vitality 10,000, Big Half and Manchester Half in recent weeks Rowe was not quite able to secure an AFD team win here as they were just headed by Southampton.

The 27-year-old had a solid margin of nearly 200, metres over the Isle of Wights Henry McLuckie with team mate Callum Charleston a distant third.

Aldershot made no mistakes in the womens match as Lauren Hall, fourth fastest at Mansfield and a silver team medallist there, had a comfortable margin over junior clubmate Katie Pye, who missed the previous weeks relays. AFD had four in the top five, to secure the team plaudits but it was Basingstokes Maddie Deadman who again split them with a third place ahead of Kate Estlea, who was in AFDs third place team at Mansfield.

The young athlete girls races saw the Aldershot pairing of Kitty Scott, in the under-15s and Poppy Guest in the under-13 age group again turn out in force. This was after both being members of their clubs winning teams in the wet and muddy Mansfield conditions the previous week.

Normally the league puts on five fixtures but this, the second, will be the final event of 2023 as there was no club able to take on the December fixture. Two more follow next year.

KENT LEAGUE, Danson Park, Bexley, November 11

Tewelde Menges, who won the opening league but was second to James Kingston in the second, won by almost a minute from Tonbridges Higgins twins Ted and Jack who had their best league runs of the season as they both had their third top six placing and led Aldershot to victory as Menges Medway pushed them reasonably close as the two teams had a lock out of the top eight with their scorers.

M45 Anthony Webb in eighth was the top M40 plus runner.

In his first Kent League since this fixture two years ago, Invictas Alex Dack led the under-17s home.

England U15 3000m runner-up Joseph Hill who won the opening league race but was second at Somerhill, was a clear winner of the under-15s while Tonbridges under-13 Luca Szumilewicz had his biggest win to date.

The senior women missed out in this fixture and therefore the fastest woman in action was Blackheaths South of England under-20 1500m champion Hannah Clark, who like Menges and Hill had his second win after a second at Somerhill.

Weald Tris Sophie Richmond became the only  three-time league winner so far this season as she won the under-15 race while Tonbridges Purdey Hutchings, who had followed Tyla Jade Thomas home in the first two fixtures, this time went one better to pip her Dartford rival by three seconds.

Manchester Area League Match 2, Wythenshawe Park, November 11

Emily Kearney continued her imperious form under sunny skies and challenging underfoot conditions at Wythenshawe Park, Stephen Green reports.

The Warriors athlete quickly established a lead as the 350 plus field sloshed their way through the first small parade lap. Onto the third and final lap across a series of knee-deep mud and sapping ankle-deep stuff. Kearney who has a recent 70:45 half-marathon in the locker, from Valencia, continued to open a lead of over a minute from Sophie Wood of Sale.

Helen Warburton of Sale moved into third place, 23 seconds down on team-mate Wood, and led Sale to a comprehensive team victory over Trafford. First W40 home was Laura Lombard, of Salford Harriers in eighth while Katherine Fitzpatrick was the leading W35 a place ahead of her in seventh.

Aaron Doyle, improved from second place in the first match at Heaton Park, to score a decisive win in the adverse underfoot conditions. At the end of the first of three large laps the Vale Royal athlete, whose 5km road best is just under 15 minutes, led the field of 550 plus men with Warringtons Cameron Field on his shoulder.

Doyles upright and short striding style enabled him to glide over the mud lakes and he was able to enjoy a victory margin of around 150m from the fast-finishing Peter Taylor Bray of Chorlton Runners, who edged Sales Alex Lawton, with Field a couple of seconds down.

Karl Darcy had a superb run in sixth, to come home as first M40, for Salford Harriers. Host club Sale made it a double team celebration, three points ahead of Salford.

Traffords Freddie Meredith dominated proceedings in the U17 mens race, 50 seconds ahead of Oberon Kearney, who just stayed ahead of Liam Johnston. Stockport Harrier Freya Murdoch was an impressive girls winner 30 seconds to the good from Nia Griffin, who was 30m clear of Rose Parry.

Top U15 boy was Sales Alex Fraser, 10 seconds clear of Pio Aron, who held a similar gap over Emmas Finlay Dobson. Oonagh McManus made it a Sale double came home first in the girls section, 13 seconds ahead of Imogen Hill, with Isla Pastor a similar distance in arrears, third.

The closest finish of the day came in the U13 boys event where a blanket finish where St Helens Bobby Birkett edged Nethaniel Glascott-Hill by a second, with Bobby McEvoy just another stride down. Warriors Eve Beddow broke the tape 30 seconds to the good from sister Isobel, with Emily Walton, third, around 70m down.

The new and popular U11s section saw wins for Salfords Loxley Schofield, just ahead of Toby Harrison, with Joseph McKenna third. Warrior Daisy McVicar was top of the class in the girls section, ahead of Blue Bailey, with Lucy OBrien third.

Metropolitan League, Wormwood Scrubs, November 11

Alex Lepretre, who was third in the first league race at Claybury, advanced to first this time. He ran 2:18:46 for the marathon in Berlin, after running 2:15:01 in London, Alastair Aitken reports.

He said: Although not a terrible time, I was disappointed with Berlin because I intended going faster than London as I got back my confidence recently and was running well again.

The three lap course at the Scrubs was in fine sunshine and not too heavy underfoot but the usual course was cut up a little because of earth works being dug for HS2 to come through the far field. The first to show was Claybury winner, Roger Poolman, who went through the first lap a good 40 metres clear of a group containing Lepretre, Oscar Bell, Robbie Brown and Seyfu Jamal.

It was in the woods on the second lap that Lepretre caught up with Poolman, before going ahead for the last and third lap.

He ran that hard, knowing that Poolman had good finishing speed. Both men were in the team that came third in the National Cross-county relay, in deplorable conditions, at Mansfield the weekend before and here they were part of the 12-man Highgate team, that all finished in the first 36 places, to take the Harriers further ahead in the team contest.

The first M40 was Paul Martelletti in 30th place and, impressively, M60 runner Robert Bigby was 186 of the 445 finishers.

Victoria Park & Tower Hamlets and TVH top the senior womens league but Serpentine RC & London Heathside could be in the equation later in the season.

The womens winner Annabel Gummow, said she had not run seriously since March because of certain problems. Back in March she was ninth in the Inter-Counties cross-country and looking at her sizeable lead at Wormwood Scrubs she looks to be in good form again and happy with life.

After a lap it was easy to see she was going to win with Yasmin Goater having her best league season in second place after third at Claybury.

In the younger age groups Shaftesbury were doing well but John Stowe the Woodford Green young athletes coach pointed out that on that day, there were star runners from his club doing the Regional Schools Cup races. Andrew Hobdell, the coach for Herts Phoenix, was praised strongly by his charges Gummow and under-17 winner Kire Shaw.

Shaw had a convincing win, as she did last year at Wormwood Scrubs. She hopes to run well in the National 3000m and is a serious about her triathlons as well.

MIDLAND WOMENS LEAGUE, Div 1, Match 1, Cheltenham, November 11

Held in conjunction with the Birmingham mens division one and two fixtures, the event gave a maiden race victory to Lincoln Wellingtons India Barwell, who turned out in the colours of Loughborough University, Martin Duff reports.

Barwell was third quickest under-20 in the previous weeks English cross-country relays at Mansfield and here had a 40-metre margin over Loughborough team mate Bethan Morley as students dominated.

Birminghams Elisha Tait took third as students filled the first 11 places and it was Barwells Loughbrough who took the team honours.

TRACKSMITH SURREY LEAGUE Div 1, Match 2, Mitcham Common, November 11

Hercules Wimbledon have won the senior mens team title for the past two seasons and, despite being narrowly being headed in the opening match by Belgrave, re-established the normal order by dominating this fixture with 176-point margin, Martin Duff reports.

The holders were led home by Stuart McCallum and put seven in the top 15 and all 10 scorers in 41. McCallum, the 2021 Euro Cross runner, has raced rarely this year, confining himself mainly to turning out in road relays for his club.

Veteran Andy Coley-Maud perhaps ought to have opted to get a place in the England Masters team that contested the British & Irish Masters international in Scotland but instead supported his Guildford club here and was headed by about 40 metres.

Dulwich Runners are having a renaissance and saw Max Milarvie and Edward Chuck home in third and fourth but with a long wait for their final scorers were headed in the team stakes by both Belgrave and Kent.

Things are looking less rosy for Ranelagh Harriers as they now prop up the Division 1 table after two matches.

Suzie Monk moved up from fourth in the October fixture to win the womens race by more than 50 metres as there was a battle for the minor placings behind. That race within a race saw Dani Chatterton just get the nod on Kristina Popaditch as Georgie Bruinvels was a close fourth.

In the young athletes races, there was again domination by Sutton & District in the U17 mens race and this time it was Monty Hudson, second in the previous match, who led them to another big win.

In only her first year of running, it was Eloise Hudson who won the under-17 womens race with victory over her Guildford team mate Violet Isaacs.

TRACKSMITH SURREY LEAGUE, Divisions 2, 3 & 4, Oxted, November 11

Dom Nolan headed Croydon clubmate James Hancock in the division two match held in Oxshot Woods along with a separate race for the combined Division 3 and 4 match, Martin Duff reports.

Both headed opening match winner Jack Kavanagh but it was Epsom & Ewell who again took the team plaudits on the day with their ten scorers in the top 32.

Epsom can dream of a long-awaited return to the leagues top flight after being a regular there some 30 or more years ago.

The combined lower division race saw top veteran Duncan Woolmer come out on top to repeat a division two match win in October 2022

Again, it was newcomers to the league Sutton Striders who turned out in force in the division four standings with their Bryn Reynolds placing sixth in the combined three and four match.

This year the womens league is extended to three divisions and they also raced in Oxshot Woods in a combined match.

Individually, it was Dorkings Alice Crane, who usually competes in parkruns but who was 19th in the BUCS championships this year, who came out on top of the combined race that had 296 finishers.
