At a sunny Mary Peters Track, Golden Four No 4, naturally enough the 3rd in the series, was strictly for minimalists. Three North Down athletes ran, John Saulters and Kris Lockhart at 400m and John Carlisle at 1500m. At 400m, John warmed up for Tullamore and was 2nd in the A race in 50.77 while Kris won the B race (5th NI athlete overall) in 56.30, pulling Christine Long to a pb in the process. In a good 1500m race, John ran a pb of 4:21.94 for 2nd. Laura Kerr made the meeting noteworthy by finally breaking coach Alison Moffitt’s senior javelin record with 49.23m.
There was not much of a dent made by any club into the North Down series lead.
