Kirsty… leader of the pack
While attention was naturally focused on the Olympic Games elsewhere Liverpool Pembroke Sefton were faced with the rather more mundane task of surviving relegation from Division 2W in the Northern League in the somewhat appropriate surroundings of the Oval in Bebington where the track scenes from Chariots of Fire were filmed.

Tough choice for Harry
After running an excellent 800m at Stretford in 1.51.84 it looked like Harry Doran was about to announce his switch from 400m to two laps. He might have to revise that view. Running in the BAL Premiership League match at Hendon(for Liverpool Harriers) he set a new PB of 47.00 for 400m. The tantalising prospect […]
