Liverpool Pembroke Sefton`s most loyal senior, Kirsty Longley, was in action in the Halton Run-the-Bridge 5 miler. Having already in the last 6 months picked up an England O35 […]

Stunning international debut for Rosie
Rosie Johnson, Liverpool Pembroke Sefton`s cross country star, has really come of age this winter season. Her impressive efforts carried her to an English Schools selection for the Home Countries International at Carmarthen. While most of the country was under snow the conditions here were clear with the course firm, well grassed and slightly undulating. This […]

Ladies Day
Liverpool Pembroke Sefton were co-hosts of the final Mid-Lancs Cross Country League match at a sunny Beacon Park, Skelmersdale. The dramatic backdrop saw some fiercely contested races in spite of eventual league positions being largely per-determined. It was a particularly good day for the club’s females. The Under 15s were without star Rosie Johnson resting […]

Super-controlled Rosie
There was only a scattering of Liverpool Pembroke Sefton athletes prepared to trek to Sunderland for the National Cross Country Championships. Rosie Johnson produced the best performance. Running a completely controlled race she finished fifth in the Under 15 event. After a relatively poor result in the Northern Championships her expectations might well have been […]
