MORPETH Harrier Nick Swinburn continued his winning sequence with a hard-fought victory in yesterday's North Tyneside 10K.

The 19-year-old Bangor University undergraduate, who helped the North-East win the UK Inter Counties team championship eight days previously and was a member of the victorious Morpeth team in the Elswick Good Friday Relays, made a successful break 400 metres from the finish to beat clubmate Nathan Shrubb by two seconds.

Swinburn was one of five runners to break clear of the 1600- strong field early in the race and going into the final quarter of a mile was challenged by Shrubb and defending champion James Buis, of Heaton Harriers.

Swinburn, the Great Britain junior fell running champion, produced the strongest finish, however, to cross the finish line in a modest 33 mins 21 secs.

The women's race was won by Gateshead Harrier Jessica Trowbridge.

She beat Edinburgh Marathon runner-up Angela Hibbs, who has left Claremont to join powerful women's outfit Chester-le-Street, by a comfortable 51 seconds with a winning time of 37 mins 17 secs.

Results - Men: 1 N Swinburn (Morpeth) 33 mins 21 secs; 2 N Shrubb (Morp) 33.23; 3 J Buis (Heaton) 33.27; 4 M Griffiths (Newcastle, Staffs) 33.34; 5 S Bell (Chester-le-Street M40) 33.46; 6 J Bulan (North York Moors) 34.55; 7 P Turner (Elswick) 34.57; 8 M Dawson (North Shields Poly) 34.57.

Women: 1 J Trowbridge (Gateshead) 37.17; 2 A Hibbs (ClS) 38.08; 3 A Snook (Shildon) 39.42; 4 M Holt (Sunderland) 39.52; 5 W Johnson (Heaton) 40.06
