The old ones are the best for Nene Valley Harriers

Last year’s silver medallists at the end-of-season finals were complimented by their ladies team who performed well to finish second.

The ladies also made the finals last season just missing out on third place and hope to be among the medals this time round.

Sean Beard was another Over 50 winner with 11.05.00 in the 3,000m.

There were also first places for Over 35s Sean Reidy in the high jump, James Mcdonald in the one mile walk and Simon Achurch in the hammer and javelin.

For the ladies there were Over 35 wins for Gemma Skells in the 100m and for Claire Smith over 400m.

Andrea Jenkins won the hammer with a throw of 35.08m along with the javelin, while Philippa Taylor finished well clear in the Over 50 3,000m in 11.05.00.

Distance runners Nicky Morgan and Louise Alexander joined Skells and Smith for an easy victory in the 4x100m.
