Who would have predicted that Hull City would win promotion to the Premiership,
Donny Rovers would go up to the Championship, and Rob Oldridge would break 50
minutes for 10k, all in the same week? Yet they all happened. Rob’s
achievement may not have received quite the national press coverage of the other
two but it was still a worthy effort all the same, at the distinctly chilly
Askern 10k last Wednesday night.
To be fair the 50 minute barrier was being peppered from all directions.
Simon Greenwood also beat it for the first time, Nigel Kirby hit it spot on in
his first race for the club, and Jo Mouncey was only seconds outside it.
The 40 minute mark was also under attack. Andy Masterman beat it easily with
another cracking run to earn him 14th place overall (out of over 400
finishers), and Paul Turner was three minutes inside it in his first, and very
impressive, race in club colours. Dave Hanney was also well inside, but Martin
Booth, rapidly returning to form, just missed it as did Neil Bentley and Mark
Thompson (again). Another personal best from Richard Bramham suggests he will be
knocking on the 40 minute door before long.
Other Askern stars were Julie Barker with a dramatic improvement on her last
10k outing, Maria Stanley with a very encouraging debut, and Tania Davies,
another 10k, another PB.
