WET weather did not dampen enthusiasm as the Neiley Schools’ Cross Country races finally got under way for this year.
Youngsters from Primary schools across the district gathered at the Honley venue and enjoyed races in four categories – all organised by Holmfirth Harriers.
Winners in the girls were Libby Shepherd of Netherthong and Frances Keddie of Wooldale, while in the boys the titles went to Jimmy Burke of Wooldale and Max Bardell of Meltham.
Full results are available on the Holmfirth Harriers website and the next races are due on Wednesday.
