Dan Richmond continued his winning streak in round two of the Aston International Summer Hill League at Cringle plantation and reservoir on Saturday.

Conditions were favourable, but full concentration was required with the many technical sections, rocks, roots, stream crossings and boggy sections.

A total of 71 started at the lowest point of the reservoir embankment, looping round the plantation with some deceptively sharp, leg-sapping climbs.

It was highly competitive at the sharp end, with winner Richmond only 10 seconds ahead of Tom Felton-Smith at the close.

There were many great performances by the junior runners, especially Corrie Brogan who again made it into the top six, while women’s race winner Alice Forster was a fine seventh overall.
