Helpston Harrier John Herbert finished third in 33.38 and was one of a trio of ‘super-vets’ from Helpston who won the team prize. Micky Moore came home fourth in 34.46 with 53 year-old Jim Morris crossing the line 14th in 36.51.

Peterborough AC finished second in the men’s team stakes thanks to the efforts of Mark Popple (5th in 35.02), John Pike (8th in 35.42) and James Sadlier (11th in 36.39).

PAC pair Nathan Popple (38:52) and Mark Anderson (39:15) were also competing after recent marathons.

Bushfield Jogger Scott Meadows had a fine run, taking seventh place with a 35.34 clocking.

Nene Valley youngsters had a field day in the junior 3km race with Dylan Tomaselli winning in a time of 10.09.

Hunts AC’s Ciaran Burke was second, three seconds behind Tomaselli. Third-placed Joseph Reindell of Nene Valley was given the same time as Burke.

Chelsie Bole won the girls race in 11.30 and her Nene Valley team-mate Lola Fletcher finished second with a time of 12.08. Hunts AC’s Caitlan Burke was third in 12.17.

There were some very young possible stars of the future in action, with seven year-old Adam Smith and Jasper Edwards clocking 13.00 and 13.02 respectively.

Jacob Antonucci, who is just six years-old, covered the 3km course in 15.08.

TITCHMARSH 10k

Peterborough AC’s James Whitehead was runner-up with a 34:13.9 clocking.

IPSWICH 5k

At the Ipswich Twilight 5k, PAC’s Shaun Walton had set about demolishing his 5k PB.

Having gone below 16 minutes for the distance for the first time last summer, he took another 20 seconds off his previous best to move closer to the 15:30 barrier with the summer season lying ahead giving plenty more opportunities for fast times.
