MARCH Athletic Club runner Joe Bradshaw was the star performer as runners across Fenland competed in Sunday’s Frostbite Friendly League event at Hinchingbrook Park in Huntingdon.

Bradshaw won the junior race with a fantastic performance as the cold weather and injuries took their toll on a number of runners. However, 19 senior and 7 junior March AC runners still completed their races.

A severe overnight frost left the ground slippery and with only six male runners in the squad it was left to Fenland Running Club’s ladies to complete the team requirement of 10 runners.

Robin Parker finished eighth and Nicole Coughlin was the first lady home in a very respectable 98th place overall. The men’s team have dropped from fourth to seventh in the standings after the event.
