MORPETH Harrier Nick Swinburn won yesterday's highly-competitive fourth North Tyneside 10km Road Race.
In the event staged from North Shields Sports Centre to St Mary's Lighthouse, Whitley Bay, Swinburn waited until the final 400m before sprinting away from club-mate Nathan Shrubb, with 2007 winner, James Buis of Heaton, close behind in third place.
MORPETH Harriers repeated their 2007 victory in the senior men's relay at yesterday's Elswick Harriers-promoted Good Friday Road Race.
Morpeth were fourth, 21 seconds behind leaders Claremont on leg one, before Lewis Timmins moved them into a 41-second lead over Gosforth after the second leg. Timmins also clocked the day's fastest time.
MORPETH Town face a difficult task at championship challengers Whitley Bay but are confident of giving the Seasiders a good game after losing just once this year.
"We made a slow start to the season and were near the bottom but we have played really well recently and our aim is to finish in the top four," enthused Craik Park chairman Mark Hedley.
