 Morpeth Harriers winning squad at the NECAA Sprint Relays, on Wednesday 5th September. In a superb night of friendly, yet intensive competition, Morpeth Harriers retained their hold on the winner’s trophy at the annual North Eastern Counties Athletics Association Sprint Relays, held at Jarrow’s Monkton Stadium, on the evening of Wednesday 5th September 2018. They won by a total of 23 points from second placed Tynedale Harriers, with Gateshead Harriers a further fourteen points adrift in third place. Four event wins, seven seconds and three third placed efforts from the club were the major highlights of their overall success, and Team Manager Dave Thomas spoke highly of his squads performances, including some made by athletes that he was forced to draft in at the last minute, singling out Under 13 Boy Oliver Geoghegan, and an injured Rosie Winter filling in for late absentees, which had frustrated him.
