From there it went along the lane and then down Cranbrook Avenue along Cottingham Road, up Hall Road, and back down Inglemire to the field. The winner was A. Whitehead, who was followed by D. Longbone and R. Gibson. The winners time was 15 minutes approximately. This years cross country was over a course of 5 miles going through Cottingham and back to the field. The runners were handicapped on height, and the winner was a smaller boy, Douthwaite, but Whitehead came through strongly from the back to finish 4th, behind Jones and Scott.
