Prestatyn Running Club's supervets have won numerous awards at national level over the years but their latest success surprised even themselves.

On Sunday they travelled to Horwich for the British Masters' 5k championships hoping to pick up another team prize but when Dave Hughes pulled out with a back pain it left Roger Harrison-Jones and John Hickman one short of the required trio.

The only other club member competing – in the M45 category – was club captain James Rogers so the two supervets agreed to make up an M45 team with him.To their amazement they came away with team silver, and to add icing on the cake Roger won individual gold in the M80 class. Placings: 84 James Rogers 20.21, 122 John Hickman 26.50, 127 Roger Harrison-Jones 29.09.

The medal came at the end of a busy week for James who had four races in seven days, including the 12-mile Ras Pedol Foel Fras mountain race the previous day. His time there was 3-18.54.
