GREENOCK Glenpark Harriers were emphatic in retaining their Renfrewshire Cross Country Men’s Championship title at Shanks Park, Johnstone.

Their dominance was demonstrated by the fact that all six counting athletes crossed the line ahead of the first finisher from silver medallists Bellahouston Road Runners.

It was Stephen Trainer who led the Orangefield men to victory by taking individual silver after a battling performance with Inverclyde’s Jonny Glen.

After exchanging the lead several times it was Glen who finally broke clear in the final half mile of the six-mile course.

But with David Henderson, Andrew Harkins, Steven Campbell, Shaun Lyon and David Tamburini all packing close behind, the team result was never in doubt for the Glenpark men.

Steven Campbell also picked up the individual veterans’ bronze medal.

The Glenpark Women’s team of Lorna Coyle, Rhonda White and Liz McAuslan were also among the medals as they took team bronze, with Lorna adding silver in the Vet50 category.

In the junior races Cameron Patton got the day off to a great start with an inspiring run. Coming from way behind in the middle of the pack in the one-mile under-11 race, he came storming through like a train to take third.

His club-mates Alex Wiseman and Sean Hegarty also ran well, but were unlucky in just missing out on the medals with their fourth team place.

The medals continued with the under-15 girls as Shelby Morrison ran clear for her silver, and along with gutsy runs from Nicola Doohan and Mia Forrest the girls were also rewarded with a well-deserved team bronze.
