Bridlington Road Runners women sparkle at Beverley Westwood

Bridlington Road Runners members line up at the East Yorkshire Cross Country League fixture at Beverley Westwood.

The fifth round of the East Yorkshire Cross Country League saw Bridlington Road Runners travel in good numbers to Beverley Westwood.

The women enjoyed their best performance of the season so far, with 95 points putting them in sixth place on the day, and lifting them to sixth in the overall standings, writes John Edwards.

Mim Ireland led Bridlington home, 13th overall, and she was backed up by Clare Gummerson, Kerry Whitehead and Becky Clifton, who contributed to the team’s score.

It means with one race left, Brid’s ladies are just a handful of points behind fifth-placed Driffield Striders and will be looking to reel their local rivals in at the final race.
