Big Well done to club runner Jason Moore on yet another top performance at the Inter-counties cross country, where he finished an impressive 93rd out of 276 other county runners.
Afterwards he was heard to say that "starting at the back of the field didn't help and apparently you could see me on the coverage on sky sports which probably made most people turn over ;)"
But to finish inside the top 100 in his county debut in this event is a brilliant effort! and should improve his ranking.
