Goodman takes North of Thames title


Richard Goodman gained a clear victory in the North of the Thames cross country championships at Kingsbury, finishing 52 seconds clear of his Shaftesbury Barnet teammate Jake Shelley. The race, which also serves as the Liddiard Cup competition, has a seventy year history and has been won by several national record holders and international medallists. For Goodman, 23, it was a return to Fryent Country Park, where he started his career nine years ago winning the Brent Schools Championship wearing his football boots.

Lia Radus, representing Blackheath & Bromley, won the second fixture of the U15 Kent cross country league at Tonbridge. The somewhat inconsistent age classifications within the sport mean that Radus, 15, is classed as U15 for cross-country and U17 for track and field.
