The club waits for other league results to see if any sections have reached the finals in September.

Great Yarmouth Road Runners: John Hartley and Sean Jermy are beginning to make their mark. Two races requiried a combination of speed and stamina, qualities which these two clearly have in abundance.

The first race was the popular Worstead Five Miler, an event which fits in nicely with the Worstead Festival weekend. Hartley steamed through the dog-leg course, recording an impressive time and a personal best. Not too far behind was another club newcomer, Stephen Dady, who, together with wife Sylvia, made up an impressive contingent of Seasiders.

There were four club members at the Broome 10k event, and here Sean Jermy took the honours with an impressive sub-40 minute clocking. He was followed by Matthew Sutton, continuing his preparation for the Great North Run, John Hills, now making a habit of winning his age group, and Karen Manning, running smoothly and well as she too incorporates effortlessly her racing and her preparation for an autumn marathon.

Results. Worstead Five Miles (Friday, July 23): 27 John Hartley 31:16 (pb), 57 Stephen Dady 33-03, 253 Sylvia Dady 43-29.
