Plibersek wins on New Year's Eve
Our men dominated Ilford's 10 mile CC event on New Year's Eve. In the tough 3-lap event Tomaz Plibersek and Bertie Powell ran together until halfway around the final lap when Plibersek pulled away for a 30 second victory. Powell was almost 2 minutes ahead of third-placed Tom Gardner of Ilford, as 131 finished the race.
We also had 4th and 6th in the men's race through Matt Molloy and Gareth Cavell, who were also the first two vets in the race. In the women's race, Jenny Thomas (66th) took the prize for first W40.
Of the rest, Steve Lambert's run (44th) was particularly noteworthy as he beat Paul Stockings (53) for the first time.
We also had Andy Coleman (30), Rob Quantrell (37), Roger Green (76) and Alex Wardle (86) and Adrian Russell (107), as well as second-claimer Ray Dzikowski (13th).
