In the U11 race Lucile Pickles led the Barlick contingent home, finishing 2nd girl, whilst in the U15 race, Jack Villiers showed that his race win 4 days ago at Liver Hill was no fluke by once more mixing it at the front of the field and finishing in 2nd position.

Report from Chewy
There were 5 Barlickers present for this midweek freebie at Marl Pitts. I missed the start with the pack already out of the field as I made my way through the funnel. It was a bit of a novelty bobbing and weaving past folk on the narrow path which goes on for about the first mile. I passed Rachel Lowther about a mile in who has taken to copying my shorts. Then John 'race machine' Boothman, who seemed shocked to see me. I caught up to Andy Berry next who was stalking Shaun in the battle of the chairman. Once past Shaun I'd passed about 120 runners and started trying to reel the front runners in.
It was the first round of the English champs fell season on Saturday and due to the road relays we only had Virgil Barton in attendance. That being said, Virgil put in a cracking performance in a stacked field, finishing 41st in 1.45.56. The race was run by Tom Addison of Helm Hill in a fierce descent to the finish, when after 14 miles of running, there was only a minute between the top 6.
1 Tom Addison(Helm Hill) 1.33.28
41 Virgil Barton 1.45.56
Stephen Shorrocks is a man in form and is getting closer to the front every week. He was our sole runner in this race and finished 5th.

The men for the first time entered two teams into the northern 12 stage. The A team was the strongest we've fielded but were still missing a couple due to injuries.
With this we were looking to break into the top 10 for the first time in the clubs short history. Tom Corrigan and John Whiteside got the mens team under way on the super fast 1st leg and both ran well. Tom ran the fastest Barlick long leg on the day against the big boys. The A team were 20th after leg 1 and the B team were 42nd. Marc Hartley started cutting through the field with the fastest short leg of the day and pulled the A team up to 12th, Dan Balshaw just recovering from injury lost a few places for the B team.
