Lewis and co are in a league of their own

The West Yorkshire Winter League Select team won the inaugural Inter-league Cross-Country Relay at Temple Newsam on Sunday.

Baildon’s Quentin Lewis picked up the baton from Stainland’s Ben Mounsey before handing to Pudsey Pacers’ James Clark.

They finished three minutes clear of the Peco League Select team, for whom Saltaire’s captain, Will Kerr, ran the anchor leg.

The Peco Ladies Select were narrower victors over the Winter League Ladies, with Pudsey & Bramley’s Claire Green running the fastest leg of the day.

Among the over-40s and over-50s, the Winter Leagues won both men’s events, but the Peco Ladies won theirs, with Saltaire’s Louise McGechaen in the winning team.

Twenty-four club trios raced alongside the select teams. Queensbury rounded off a remarkable season with a victory, finishing fourth overall. Chris Williams, Curtis Brennan and Darren Midgley represented their club, while Martin Firth and Pete Hughes represented the Winter League super-vets team.
