The second fixture in Division 3 East of the Northern Senior T&F League was on Saturday 4th at the Eastbourne Sports Complex, Darlington and the Harriers had a much better turn-out with five women and thirteen men in action. All five women managed to compete in the maximum number of events allowed, including Sarah Gregory, taking it easy on her comeback from injury and only competing in two middle distance runs, four throws and a leg of the 4x400m relay. It was a nearly day for the men with six A-string second places: Noveed Adris was out-sprinted off the last hurdle by Paul Baker of NSP but had the consolation of shaving 1/10th second off his season’s best; Scott Wardman was second to Under 17 International Ricky Stevenson of NMH in the 800m; Mike Brooks made his season’s debut in the steeplechase and was a solid second out of a field of eight; Ken Harker earned maximum points in the 1500m despite being held-off by Lewis Moses of Newton Aycliffe as the winner was running as a guest; Jon Orange was second in the 5000m by more than 40 seconds as another International, Ryan Stephenson of NSP, set off with sub 70 laps and lapped all the field bar Jon; and veteran John Wild was second in the hammer, his best place from four throws on the day.
RZH results: Women - Sarah Gregory 1500m 6:01.1, 3000m 12:38.0, discus 11m57, hammer 15m87, javelin 7m17 & shot 5m94; Fiona Hughes 100m 16.2, 100m hurdles 22.3, 200m 35.2, 400m hurdles 88.6 & discus 15m29; Erica Moks (U20) 400m hurdles 91.1, 3000m 12:47.3 & shot 5m77; Cara Penfold (U20) 400m 74.3, 800m 2:49.3 & 1500 5:59.0 Georgina Zissler (U20) 100m 14.3, 200m 29.2, 400m 67.6 & 800m 2:37.7; 4x100m relay 60.3 & 4x400m relay 5:13.5; Men - Noveed Adris 110m hurdles 19.9; Mike Brooks (V55) 400m hurdles 94.4 & 3000m steeplechase 12:48.5; James Brownfields-Pope 1500m 4:44.9; Ken Harker 100m 13.3 & 1500m 4:14.4; Jon Orange (V40) 5000m 15:57.2; Chris Peacock 400m hurdles 83.8, discus 12m79, hammer 12m02 & javelin 25m50; Matt Prosser (U20) 200m 26.2, 400m 56.5, long jump 4m99 & shot 7m55, Shaun Purkiss (V40) 17:54.1; Edd Richards (U20) 200m 26.6, 400m 55.6, Ray Robson 100m 15.2 & long jump 3m68; Scott Wardman 800m 2:02.9, John Wild (V50) discus 29m82, hammer 32m79, javelin 29m97 & shot 9m43; Nick Zissler 800m 2:02.5; 4x100m relay 49.5 & 4x400m relay 3:41.5.
The end result was 3rd place with 351 match points, well behind Seaton AC but only 31 points behind NMH and 14 points ahead of Tynedale AC on the day. The Club are now 4th overall, 4 league points behind both Tynedale and NMH but, with two more fixtures to go, promotion is still a possibility.
