CAMBRIDGE Harrier Sabrina Sinha finished second in the southern inter-counties championships while representing Kent in the U13 girls’ race.

Sinha was way ahead of the field when a marshal sent her the wrong way and by the time the mistake had been realised, there were 20 athletes in front of the Cambridge Harrier.

Determined to get back to the leader Sinha worked her way back through the field and close to the finish was she was back up to second place.

In one last effort for victory, she kicked hard and crossed the line in joint first.

However, the officials ruled first place would officially go to the other athlete and despite an official protest by the Kent team, the result stood.

Elsewhere, Cambridge Harriers’ senior runners were involved in the Kent veterans’ cross country championships, where both the M50 and M60 teams placed third.
