HATS OFF TO NATIONAL SIX STAGE HEROES
At first glance finishing 34th doesn’t sound like
a great success. But for New Marske Harriers to be able to send at team to the
National 6-Stage competition at
Compare this with the team that finished 3rd – Newham & Essex Beagles who recruit their team from all over the country – including Stephen Hepples and Rob Cole who also live within 6 miles of New Marske!!
Let the “Old Man” of the team, Mark Gamble-Thompson take up
the story - I have run for Middlesbrough
& Cleveland Harriers, Gateshead Harriers, Salisbury AC and Colchester
Harriers. I have won many big team events but the 34th in the National 6
Stage for a small village club with 6 local runners is one of the best team
achievements I have seen. Many of my colleagues from all areas of the
country who spoke to me on Saturday said how well this small
club has done. Bear in mind
