Stubbington Green Runners & AC

Today's Runner, Q E Country Park - 13th Nov 2005

John (El Gringo) Tussler

NEVER mind the number of foreign footballers plying their trade in the English Premiership, Stubbington Green opted to field their own Spanish import at the second round of the Today's Runner.

John "El Gringo" Tussler jetted in from his sun-kissed Spanish abode for a spot of mud and hills at the Queen Elizabeth Country Park near Petersfield.

John, who moved out to Southern Spain last year, came home in 128th place, just finishing ahead of wily veteran Gilbert Yeates who has been running well of late - including a strong showing at the Lordshill 10 a week earlier.

Ray Gunner was the pick of the men in ninth place, followed by Mike Laws in 19th .

Penny Forse has been in good form in cross country this winter, and led a good contingent of women runners home in 20th place, with Helen Grice, in her first cross country outing of the season, placing 43rd .

Men: 9 Ray Gunner, 19 Mike Laws, 40 John Exley, 42 Jon Leigh, 63 Dave Hall, 68 Andy James, 79 Nick Crane, 100 Andy Lee, 101 John Reeve, 115 Chris Munro, 128 John Tussler, 132 Gilbert Yeats, 153 John Vose, 171 Peter Wright, 174 Tim Bishop.

Ladies : 20 Penny Forse, 43 Helen Grice, 52 Ellie Crane, 70 Chris Haskell, 82 Sarah White, 85 Veronica Wright, 94 Caroline Street, 98 Sue Robinson.
