ANDY Blow taught Dorset League Champion Carl Morris a lesson as he won the Purbeck 10km, reports Nigel Harding.

The Poole AC triathlon specialist clocked 31 mins 28 sec, beating Morris, a teacher at race headquarters Purbeck School, by 13 seconds.

PAC's Andy Clements, now over-45, ran 33:15 to take the veteran prize and finish third overall. Club-mate Peter Damon was sixth in 33:53, but they had an anxious wait as four Poole Runners had finished before Jason Robbins (35:41) secured their team win. It was easier for PAC in the five-deep Dorset League competition, where Morris is eligible to score for them.

Poole Runners were just two points behind in the race team event. Mike Grist, fourth in 33:28, led them home. Gavin Clegg (34:09) and Dave Patrick (34:11) were also in the top ten, with Matthew Clark (34:24) outrunning Bournemouth AC's Rob McTaggart as the youngsters contested eleventh place.

Veteran Poole Runner Christine Thomas was a convincing women's winner in 38:43. Janice Palmer (fourth in 40:40) and Daveena Tweed (seventh in 41:26) secured the club's team victory, with Littledown Harriers a distant second.
