Formerly the North West Cross Country, there was a local winner in the women’s open section as City of Derry Spartans’ Judith Storm came through impressively to take the title ahead of fellow Spartan Amy Jackson and Finn Valley’s Leoni Cooke who was third.
There was Spartan representation on the podium too in the men’s open race but Declan Reed had to settle for third behind overall winner Jared Martin of Ballydrain Harriers and Annadale Striders’ Luke Dinsmore.
There was also some great races in the Primary 4/5, Primary 6/7, Under 13 and Under 15/17 races and ‘Journal’ photographer George Sweeney was there to capture all the action. Check out George’s pictures from a great day of athletics . . .
