Results from Crossags

Below are the results from Round 2 of the Manx Gas Cross Challenge, hosted by Northern AC at Crossags Farm in Ramsey this afternoon.

There was a turnout of 89 across all classes today - 16 down on Round 1 at Nobles Park, but 13 up on the corresponding event at Crossags in December last year. Particularly encouraging was a turnout of 8 competitors in the Under 17 age group, plus another 2 Under 17s in the Short Course race. It is a long time since we have had so many competing at cross country in this age group. On the downside, we have yet to see a single competitor in the Under 15 Boys category so far this season. Where are they all?

Tony Okell sustained a nasty gaping cut just under his shoulder on the first lap of the race when he took too tight a racing line into one of the fast downhill corners - typically he carried on with the race as if nothing had happened. I was pleased to hear from Steve Kelly tonight that Tony is OK after a visit to casualty to have several stitches inserted. He will be sore tomorrow!
