BMAF XC Belfast 2019

Nine hardy dedicated NEMAA members made the long journey to Stormont Park, Belfast, to contest the 2019 BMAF Cross Country Championships on March 9th.
They were blessed with surprisingly warm sunny weather and a 2 km lapped course with just one gentle climb along the grass verge of the grand Stormont Parliament driveway. Due the heavy rain in the previous night the course was very wet in places and soon cut up to become challenging in certain areas.  Only 118 competitors competed in total and the following NEMAA members were rewarded for excellent performances:-
8 km
Alastair Johnson Gosforth M45 - 1st
Paul Merrison  Sunderland H M60 - 4th
6 km
Fiona Wilson Rich & Zetland W45 - 5th
Kim Matthews Elswick H. W55 - 3rd
Michele O'Neill-Hall NEVAC W50 - 6th
Janette Kilgour Heaton H. W65 - 3rd
Harry Matthews Elswick H. M70 - 7th
John Taylor Heaton H. M75 - 2nd
George Routledge Heaton H. M70 - 6th
