Amble team success

The winter version of the Hunshelf Amble, known as the Amble’s Revenge, was held on 28th December in wintery conditions. The route is 8 miles in length and takes in a combination of tracks, trails and roads. The winner of the ladies race was Emily Cowper-Coles and the men’s winner was Barnsley Harrier Alan Ford. Penistone men packed well to claim the men’s team prize. The team was made up of George Parr (2nd), Tom Fryers (3rd) and James Fryers (4th). A number of Penistone runners claimed age category wins. Richard Docker was first in the men’s over60 category, Barbara Haigh claimed the lady’s over75 prize and Ray Brown won the men’s over80. Those claiming second places were Jonathan Bentley (men’s over55), Suzanne McGill (lady’s over45), Bill Phillips (men’s over70) and Stuart Woodhead (men’s over65). Third place was grabbed by Lesley Parker in the lady’s over45 category.

Julia Johnson had a great run to finish second lady at the EHH Boxing Day 10k in a time of 43-57. That also gave Julia first place in the lady’s over55 age category.

Penistone runners were busy on the fells, competing in a number of races over the holiday period. At the Nine Standards fell race on New Year’s Day James Fryers claimed first in the men’s under23 category, brother Tom took second place in the same category. Tom and James’s dad Paul also completed the 7.7 mile event which has over 1,750 feet of climbing. Eleven runners took on the Wormstones fell race which is run in the hills around Glossop. First back for the club was in form runner Damian Kilpin who was 9th overall and first over40 man. First lady back for Penistone was Lesley Parker. There were age category wins for Steve Storey (over65 men) and Bernice Nixon (over65 ladies).
