Lee Morgan reports on Scott Boyd's efforts in green and gold in Spain:
Birthday boy Scott Boyd, who has only been with the club a few months but has already found himself mixing it with the club's best in training, competed at the Barcelona Marathon and the weekend and dipped under his target time of 3 hours with a time of 2.58. Those who have trained with the amiable Scotsman will know how hard he has trained for this event and this time is well deserved. The scorching conditions wouldn't have  helped either but it just goes to show what happens when you prepare properly and do everything right. A sunburnt Scott found himself jumping  into the water fountain at the end of the race to cool down and although  admitting that the final 4 miles were very tough and his quads are somewhat  sore, he was happy  with his time.
We are sure that Scott wont be the only Wallsend sub 3 hour
marathon runner this year but he has set the 2012 target for the rest to chase.   
Congratulations Scott from all at Wallsend

League Prudhoe 
After  a long hard season, the final race of the Harrier League series finally took
part on Saturday at Prudhoe. On a glorious day, there was good feeling all round as both our men’s and ladies teams had secured 1st Division status before Saturday's race. However, we still  had to field teams and those runners still had to conquer that dreaded hill!
