McDonnell just misses GB vest

Luton AC’s John McDonnell put in a brave effort to become part of the British U23 team that competes in Budapest in December.

Running at a sodden Sefton Park in Liverpool on Saturday he was looking for a top six finish to make the team but, returning to fitness after a long period of injury, he finished eight.

Daniel Woodgate also ran well to finish only 22 seconds behind his team-mate.

Local runner Rebecca Murray of Bedford & County came tantalisingly close to making the U20 ladies team finishing in seventh.

They will all return to cross-country league action when Upton Park, Slough, hosts the next Chiltern League meeting at the weekend.
