Tom Collins of Medway & Maidstone won the final Kent men’s cross-country league race of the season at Swanley on Saturday but Huw Evans of Tonbridge AC is the 2010-11 individual champion, writes Alan Newman.

Collins, pictured, had threatened to win his first Kent league race all winter and he finally delivered on this tight and technical circuit in the grounds of Parkwood School.

His margin was a comfortable one at 30 seconds over Ben Whiffen and Julian Rendall of the team champions, Tonbridge AC.

M&M had the next finisher in Ben Tyler before Huw Evans justified missing the British Masters championships in Birmingham by sweeping to the men’s title in fifth place.

Deirdre McDermott of Tonbridge AC secured the women's league title with an imperious display.

McDermott finished almost a minute clear of 2008 champion, Helena Penfold of Medway and Maidstone, to win her third consecutive league title in identical fashion to her previous successes by winning three of the four league races.

Jennie Butler of Blackheath and Bromley Harriers finished third to complete the top three on the day and overall.
