Gordon Crowe reports on the Ramsey Bakery Fireman's runs (via Facebook):

Series winners were: Short Course - Keith Swales (new slimline version!) and Long Course - Nikki Boyde (winning by one point from Jackie Taggart). A great series of runs again (though with some difficult weather conditions!) and very well supported with record numbers yet again. Thanks to all concerned, especially Martyn Strickett for getting the results completed in time for the presentation following the races last night.

JOE REID FOR ENGLAND

I'm really pleased to let everyone know that Joe Reid, Gold medal winner at the Island Games in Bermuda and Manx Record Holder in the 400m has been selected to run the 400m for England at the Welsh International this weekend in Cardiff (NIAC), writes Anthony Brand on Facebook.

Joe is currently ranked 2nd in his age group for the 400m in the UK and his Silver medal performance at last weekends UK age group championships caught the eye of the selectors.

I'm sure like me you will all wish him the very best and I know through working with him he will do us all proud!
