ATHLETICS: THE second round of the Essex cross country league takes place at Gloucester Park this weekend.

There is the usual full programme of races starting at noon. Thurrock Harriers are beginning to field teams in all sections.

Individually Gemma Holloway in the under 20 women’s race and Reece Scott in the under 13 boys have chances of success.

The club’s management were disappointed to see only one entrant in the Stebbing 10 miles race which included the County championship.

Pat Dobbs made the journey to south Essex and came back with a silver medal in the 70 plus section.
