Junior Hill Race & Mothers’ 2014 Results

Posted in Events, Sport, Wakes, Young people on Wednesday July 2, 2014| Leave a Comment »

There was a slightly controversial entry in this evening’s first race (unless congratulations are in order for one of the competitors, well here’s hoping).

Local Mother’s Race
(Paula Lynam Trophy)

  1. H Pitts
  2. L Maddocks
  3. S Chadfield

The evening started with fantastic weather, but as the preparations for the Junior Race began, a heavy shower settled over Parwich. This made conditions very slippery, and the rain only began to abate as the last runners reach the summit of the Hill. It was very impressive to see particularly the younger children battling the steep slope and the heavy rain together.

14 yrs and under

Haulier’s Trophy (for the outright winner)

  1. C Amos
  2. J Buckley
  3. S White

BMAC Trophy (for the first girl)

  1. H Shapton
  2. B Fentem
  3. R Stanton

Russell Trophy (for the first local boy)

  1. C Amos
  2. J Buckly
  3. B Larkin

Foden Shield (first local girl)

The times were excellent, despite the conditions. Click here to see the full time sheets for 2014. Photos to follow.
