Denton’s Dales Delight

One happy lad with his silver wear

One happy lad with his silver wear

Calder Valley’s young star Jack Denton further enhanced his burgeoning reputation with an emphatic win in the BOFRA U17 Race on Bank Holiday Saturday at Malham. Deciding on a straightforward strategy of all-out attack, Jack led from start to finish and romped home in a splendid time of 15 mins 35 seconds to dominate the speedy 2.5mile/700ft course. Jack is yet another product of Calder’s much-vaunted youth set up and is set for a bright future in the sport. To add to this fantastic win on Sunday 1st September Jack ran in the Bradley Trial race for selection to represent his country in the U17s Junior Home International in Scotland. He was second lad home and is waiting to hear whether he’ll get to wear an England vest. Fingers crossed.
