RICHIE STEVENSON REPORTS

The Carraghan Fell Race on Monday evening turned out to be as hard fought and close as was expected.

Paul Sheard recorded his third win out of three races on the Manx fells and was certainly the strongest man on the night but he could not ease up any as he was being chased hard by Simon Skillicorn ad Ian Gale.

Everyone was absolutely delighted for Simon as this was undoubtedly his best run yet and one he deserves for all his hard work. The competitiveness of the race can be clearly seen when you look at the results. The first three were separated by just 19 seconds, the top six covered by just over a minute. 

It was the same further down the entry as well with, for instance, 13th placed Phil Crowe only 30 seconds ahead of Andy Gosnell who was seven places further back in 20th place. Great stuff and just what everyone needs to keep standards rising. 

Top female was Rose Hooton who was an excellent 15th overall in a new ladies course record knocking over 30 seconds of her time from last year. 

Andrew Newton was another to record a remarkably good performance just missing out on a top ten placing, a very talented young man indeed. There was only one other junior running. Andrew Cowley ran really well in his first attempt on the fells. I doubt if he has experienced anything like this before.  

For the 4th time this season we had a record entry which is very encouraging with all our top men slugging it out at the front.. It is brilliant to have a quality runner like Paul Sheard competing in our races and he is setting the standard that anyone who wants to win will have to reach and there are a few who are determined to get there. 

Many thanks to Buchanan and Pitts for their continued sponsorship and to all the hard working helpers on the night. 

 

Man of the match! Simon Skillicorn (black shorts) looks remarkably relaxed as he chases Tony Okell up Carraghan in the best race to date of his fell running career. Simon finished runner up. Tony Okell, who like Brian Osbourne in 6th, was limping afterwards, was fourth. (Picture by Steve Partington)
