Twenty people made it out to Parsons Close for the first of two February Stag Trophy races. On a mild, but windy night there were a large mix of performances with four PB's but also a few coming back from a small running sabbatical over the last couple of months.

On the night, Amy Inchley smashed her PB to take the 25 points available for first home in 17.45 with Craig Nelson and Dan Webb chasing her home to also record PB's of 14.51 and 16.40 respectively. Andy Inchley ran the fastest time of the season so far to take fourth in 13.41, with Fred Watt just behind in 16.22. Current leader, Steve Orlando was scuppered a little by Dave's harsh handicapping after his rapid improvement, but still ran his fourth consecutive PB to pick up twenty points.

 Steve's crucial points sees him retain a substantial lead in the overall standings on 89 with Fred Watt and Ian Grimshaw next on 75 apiece. If Steve gets one more good performance in, he will be very difficult to catch, with only Fred, Ian and Dan Webb in a good position to do the job. All three though will require three good performances to stand a chance of stopping Steve taking the title though.
