Golden girls Jess Ennis and Christine Ohuruogu run for an unofficial British number one title on Deansgate on Sunday.

World heptathlon and pentathlon champion Ennis races Olympic 400m winner Ohuruogu over 150m.

Neither are used to the distance but it promises to be a fascinating clash.

Former world 400m gold medalist Ohuruogu holds the British record and has an unofficial clocking of 16.94 seconds. Trafford AC all-rounder Ennis has clocked 11.68 for 100m and 23.15 for 200m.

"Jess is no slouch," Ohuruogu told MEN Sport.

"I'm looking forward to racing her but I enjoy racing against anyone. I feel good and my training has gone well.

"Can I break the British record again? We'll have to wait and see. Hopefully, the weather in Manchester is better than last year."

Mancunian teenager Shaunna Thompson is looking for a notable scalp on Sunday.

Vikki Barr completes an all British line-up.

Thompson is in the GB junior squad for the McCain Loughborough International meeting on May 23 with Trafford's James Bowness (800m), Harry Ellis of Warrington (1500m) and Sale pole-vaulter Andrew Sutcliffe.
