Road Race Titles
Big entries were received for all sections of the Nelson road championships conducted in Nelson recently. Winner of the senior event, for the fourth consecutive year, was John Dixon.
The senior field leaves the mark and, at right, veteran runner Harold Nelson and Murray Taylor lead the senior field away.
He had company for most of the 10 miles, but left the field to spring away a clear winner. Bill Coppins was second and Roger Sowman third.
Midget boys, main placegetters: Bruce Irvine (3), David Brooks (1) and Danny McHugh (2).
