Women’s team member, Claire O’Reilly (24.03), was the fastest player around this year’s new 5k Minithon course in a women’s record time. Chris Small (19mins.34 secs) once again was the fastest male, followed by Stuart Craig (20.40), Glyn Williams (21.35) and fastest over 50 year old, Chris Ayton (22.36). See bottom of story for the finishing times of the first 25 runners.
Fastest male junior for the fourth year and 5th home was Michael Burtonwood Junior (23.05), ahead of fastest female junior, Hannah Westwood (39.33). The prize for fastest dog and owner went to Martin O’Dowd and Gigsy (28.55) well ahead of Newton Heath Branch who were awarded the "best dressed" prize.
In a dramatic development, women’s team physio Sue O’Brien (£350) has stormed past old grey mare, Tom Stott (£347). Michael Burtonwood Junior (£200) also looks like being caught by the fast finishing “Best Dressed Male??? Glyn Williams (£170). Southern Minithon leader Jonathan Allsopp (£135) is fighting it out with junior Holly Gallimore (£145). Jean Jones (£130) is neck and neck with Vinny Thompson (£130) with John England (£125), Harvey Gallimore (£120) ACE’s Emmerdale star, Andy Walker, (£100) and Andy Walsh (£100) in hot pursuit.

In the Player’s Fund-Racing Stakes, women’s midfielder, Adora Yau (£182) has slipped to second but still leads Kirsty Chambers (£130). Kate Ramsey (£50) is being chased by Matt Wolfenden (£35) who looks like being caught by Maya Germain (£30), Amy Battel (£30) , Beth Hayes (£30) and Nicky Platt (£30). John Marsden (£25) is making a brave effort to lead the rest of his table topping women’s team with Jade Challender (£20), on crutches, Hayley O’Hara, and Broghan Matthews going toe to toe.
Andy Walsh says; "It was a great turnout and good fun but it’s important now that we pull in as much sponsorship as possible to help build funds for the club and equipment for the ACE Centre charity. ACE came along in numbers and showed how our efforts had helped them. Now, if supporters can take sponsorship forms into work and elsewhere then we can make sure that all the exertion was more than worthwhile."
