Jessica 2nd and lots of PBs in Portaferry

On Tuesday 16th, well over two hundred athletes were in Portaferry for the annual Portaferry 10 mile road race, organised by the Northern Ireland Civil Service Athletic Club and East Down AC, one of the high points of the town’s popular Gala Week. Always apopular event despite  the undulating nature of the course, the warm humid conditions seemed to suit a lot of pbs. Jessica Craig had one to finish 2^nd lady in 37:41 min. First lady was former middle distance international Kelly Neeley in 65:47 who was always likely to adapt well in the transition to longer events. Jodi Smith in 7^th and Sarah Benton in 2^nd F40 were among other girls to run well. David McKeague in 64:15 and Darren Hamilton in 65:36 were the top North Down men in 12^th and 19^th overall, 2^nd and 6^th M35. Brendan Teer was the overall winner in 54:55
