Minithon: Who's Chasing Who?

Starts Sunday at Noon on Chorlton Green, then watch the FA Cup draw and laugh with James Quinn’s comedy poets in Chorlton Irish Club

The big story of the week is in the Player’s Stakes where women’s midfielder, Adora Yau (£125), chased by Matt Wolfenden (£35), has stormed to the front and looks like pipping her colleague, Kirsty Chambers (£105) at the post. John Marsden (£25) is making a brave effort to lead the rest of his table topping women’s team with Jade Challender (£20), on crutches, Hayley O’Hara, Maya Germain, and Broghan Matthews going toe to toe with Nicky Platt (£20). .And with the women’s team (whose cup match is off)planning to do Sunday’s 5k FC Minithon in fancy dress!


Andy Walsh says; "It’s not too late to join them and participate in this year’s Minithon and help build funds for the club and equipment for the ACE Centre charity. We still need another 60 participants. It’s always a fun day out but with serious intent."

Last year went like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4OrE01luiE

But! This year in Chorlton, we not only have a new route, we also have:
the new FC Women’s team joining us, with some in fancy dress
a big screen TV to watch the FA Cup 1st round draw -to see who we will, might or would have played - at the Afterrun social in Chorlton Irish Club
prizes for fancy dress, fastest dog & owner etc. (scroll down for details)
Comedy poets including Emmerdale Sleuth, James Quinn
meet the women’s team who’ll now be at the social because their cup match is off

Meanwhile the old grey mare, Tom Stott (£300) has extended his lead in the supporters’ fund-racing but needs to watch out for the fast finishing Holly Gallimore (£100) who has already overtaken veteran Andy Walsh (£100) and is aiming for Nick Dixon (£165) and Southern Minithon leader Jonathan Allsopp (£125). Not far behind is the young grey mare, Vinny Thompson (£80), moving steadily through the field and on the tail of ACE’s Jean Jones (£90).

So, now is your time to join the players on the Stroll of Honour.
