Elsewhere Orton based Isaac Ellard continued his recent domination of the local distance running scene with a big win in Sunday's Frostbite League race at St. Neots.

It was one of the rare occasions when the league truly lived up to its name, with over 400 runners slipping and sliding their way round the Priory Park course clad in hats, gloves, tights and anything else they could think of to keep the freezing temperature at bay.

Ellard, who represents Hunts AC, won the race on a frozen course by over a minute, with PANVAC's Nathan Bunting finishing third.
