Harry Maguire lookalike in good form
Nene Valley’s men were in British Athletics League Two action at a balmy Bedford on Saturday and now sit third in the standings after a secondplace finish.

A team runner Sean Reidy also came in as runner-up with a 58.50 clocking.
Latvian international Edgars Sumskis won the 3,000m hurdles in a speedy 9:12.88 and shot putting star Martin Tinkler threw 14.74m for his first place.
Tinkler also scored valuable points in the B hammer where he finished runner up with a distance of 36.66m.
Sam Richards won the long jump registering a leap of 6.85m, and then finished second in the B triple jump with a distance of 13.10.
Newly graduated Birmingham University student James McCrae ran 4:07.78 for third place in the 1500m.

WHISSENDINE SIX
Brian Corley had a night to remember in Rutland last Friday as he picked up a rare race win in the Whissendine Six.
Bushfield Jogger Corley led from the off and crossed the line in a time of 34.03 beating Jason Barton from Melton Mowbray-based club Stilton Striders by some 39 seconds.
Phil Martin of Peterborough AC was third in 34.49, and, on what was a good day for Bushfield, Martin Gichuhi was fourth in 35.10 with Stamford Strider Mark Popple eight seconds further back.
There was also local success in the ladies race which was won by Peterborough AC’s Birmingham University student Hannah Chapman in a time of 39.49, an improvement of four minutes on her time in the same race last year.
Yaxley’s Anna Devine was third in 42.41 with her teammate Gina Crane fifth with a 43.26 clocking.
