The irrepressible Pat O’Driscoll was at it again this weekend clocking not one, but two 10k events within a few hours of each other on Sunday, gathering finishers medals and putting smiles on faces wherever he went. Starting in Mid Ulster at 11am, Pat completed the Draperstown Celtic 10k in 63:11, before hotfooting it the forty or so miles to Armagh for another 10k at 1pm. For his encore in the Orchard County Pat admits to feeling ‘stiff as a poker’ during the first half of the race, but after the fires were stoked he was off again and recorded a 4:42 negative split whilst posting 1:11.42. Also toeing the line in Armagh were club mates Terry Eakin (42:08) and Roy Sittlington (46:59), Terry’s time good enough for 1st in his age category and an impressive 18th overall.
