A much-juggled Heanor RC twelve secured a club-best 27th-place finish at the English National 12-Stage Road Relays at Sutton Park, Birmingham on Saturday. Absentees through injury, work commitments and others prioritising the Derby 10k a day later caused selection headaches in the week before the race and meant the side was altered from the twelve […]
Matching the men’s result with another fifth-place finish, the HRC ladies “A” sextet of Lisa Palmer, Louise Insley, Wendy Mullineux, Jill Burke, Rose Leivers and Wendy Roethenbaugh built on their dominant, victorious BDL XC campaign and sixth-place finish in the Midland 4 Stage Road Relays last September to again demonstrate the collective quality and potential of […]
