STEPHEN Trainer brought the curtain down on Greenock Glenpark Harriers’ club championship with another fine victory to remain undefeated in all his races.

It was a cautious start in the Bill Elder 10k road race as a group with Steven Campbell, Andrew Harkins, Neil McLaughlin and Paul Monaghan were all still together at the half-way point at Custom House Quay.

An injection of pace at the turn soon split the pack up with Trainer striding clear for a comfortable win.

If Stephen’s win was almost a foregone conclusion, the battle for second place was always likely to be hotly contested.

And so it turned out, as behind him the remaining group began to test each other. It took a sustained effort along the Esplanade from Campbell to finally pull clear of Harkins who in turn eased away from Inverclyde’s McLaughlin.

In fourth was Paul Monaghan, a placing that made certain that he retained his veterans’ championship title.

Lorna Coyle, on a good run of form, was quickest woman, outpacing Rhonda White who took five minutes off her time from last year, with Donna Clark taking third. It was a close handicap competition, with Paul Beaton, right, just edging out Chris Watson by a single second.

In the junior races Luisa Davies and Jack McDaid claimed the top spots in the 1km race around the Battery Park, whilst Shelby Morrison and Alan Mollins took the honours in the two-lap contest.

The Harriers would like to express their gratitude to all the volunteers on the night and to race sponsors Brian Harkins Financial Services and Estate Agents.
