The men’s team finished in second place and the women’s team came home in third – both securing their best positions of the league season, writes John Edwards.

It meant the men finished in third place overall and the women sixth in the 10-team league.

On the challenging 5.25-mile course at Sewerby and Danes Dyke, James Wilson was third and led the Bridlington Road Runners men’s team home with Phill Taylor, Tom Mullen, James Briggs, Alan Feldberg and Joe Stenton all finishing in the first 35 finishers.

Four more in yellow and black finished in the top 50 to help increase the scores of the opposing clubs.

Mim Ireland was 13th female and first Bridlington finisher, with Clare Gummerson, Becky Clifton and Kerry Whitehead all chipping in with valuable points.

At the end of season presentation, Bridlington claimed a number of individual awards.

James Wilson was second male and first over 40, with Phill Taylor fourth and second in the over 40s age category.

Kerry Whitehead was second over 40s ladies and Bridlington claimed a double in the over 70s category, thanks to the consistent efforts of Chris Yeomans and Pat Bielby.
