MANXATHLETICS.COM HOMEPAGE

Managrakem have agreed to continue their sponsorship of the Manx Fell League again in 2004. " Absolutely wonderful news" says Richie Stevenson. "I keep saying every year that our association with the Spring Valley based Agricultural Firm must be one of the longest in any sport based on the Island stretching,as it does, over more than 20 years. We are very grateful to Malcolm and Bryn Jones for their continued support."

MANX FELL RUNNERS PERFORM WELL AT BRITISH CHAMPS

by Richie Stevenson

Good news from the British Fell Champs.race in Wales.

There were over 300 running and our top finisher was Onion Gale in 50th place. Team Isle of Man packed well with Tony Okell 51st and Simon Skillicorn 52nd with Mike Quine not far behind in 65th place, great performances by them all in this very high standard race.

We had two running in the women's race and they both ran brilliantly. Cal Partington was 12th (143rd overall) and Christine Barwell 18th (179th) which they must be delighted with.

Isle of Man based Paul Sheard, who was running for Pudsey and Bramley, was a superb 15th and 2nd veteran in a race won by Staffs and Moorlands Simon Bailey.

I spoke briefly to Onion a few minutes ago (4.45 Sunday) and he said the race was very tough but everyone thoroughly enjoyed the course and the tough competition. He didn`t have time to give any more details as the team were dashing off to get back to Liverpool for tonight's Seacat sailing.

Unfortunately the trip got off to a bad start when Mark Preston had to withdraw on the Friday due to putting his back out at work, much to his disappointment.
