Weobley High School were celebrating after carrying off five of the 12 titles available at the Leominster District School Sports Association Cross Country Champio-nships at Tenbury High.

Weobley just edged out Wigmore, who won four of the remaining titles, while Minster College from Leominster took the other three.

Fern Davies of Wigmore produced a good run in the Year 7 girls' race, coming home first and helping her school to the team title.

Weobley's Dan King held off a determined challenge in the Year 7 boys' race from Wigmore's David Hall who gained some consolation when his school took the team title by a narrow margin from Weobley.

The closest race of the day came in the junior boys where Minster's Matthew Fear was just able to edge out Weobley's Tim Clarke. Clarke's schoolmates Michael Cheasley and Byron Giles came home in third and fourth places respectively to help Weobley take the team title.

In the junior girls' race, Sarah Lamonby, of Weobley, won the individual title, while Wigmore's good overall performance earned them the team prize.

Clare Conway, who won the Herefordshire title at the start of the year, added the intermediate girls' title to her haul, helping Weobley to a convincing success in the team race.

There was a good battle all the way around the course in the intermediate boys' race with Minster's Dean Barrell just holding off team-mate Martin Wardle to take the title. Mark Lamonby, of Weobley, came home third but a strong overall display by Minster earned them the team title by a clear margin.
