North Belfast Harriers Senior Men took the title of Cross-Country League winners for the first time as the season came to an end in Lurgan on Saturday.
Mark McKinstry, having finished second for the last four years, flew across the 12km course to cross the line first. He was a clear and very deserving winner; “casting off his bridesmaid’s outfit in style, storming to a 37-second victory over former champion Declan Reed, with Mark Long another 21 seconds back in third” (www.athleticsweekly.com). Congratulations Mark! And to all members who ran superbly throughout the season to contribute to the team win.
