BOXING DAY FELL RACE

 The record turnout of 28 runners in Matlock AC’s Boxing Day fell race was due to the exceptionally mild conditions but perhaps also reflected the growth in membership since they relocated their headquarters to the new sports centre.

Limited to members and guests, the race was won yet again by Esmond Tresidder who clocked 25 minutes 23 seconds for the two mile climb to the Bole Hill summit plus the same route back to High Peak Junction.

 At the Black Rocks car park Richard Bradbury was looking good in second place but he had to settle for third as the long striding Karl Webster clawed back the lead on the Sheep Pasture descent. Christine Howard was first lady in 8^th place.

In the Junior category Sam Allen and John Webster finished equal first in 14.25,  and Emily Croft was first girl .
