Ciaran
Kearns (Cannistown NS) and Conor Powderly (St Cholmcille NS, Skryne)
battled it out once again, with Ciaran Kearns emerging as victor of both
this event and the 6th Boys Class league. However, the best result of
the day goes to Zoe Tyner, who easily won her 5th Class Girls category,
finishing a full 7mins ahead of anyone else but, perhaps luckily for Amy
Wright (St Cholmcille NS, Skryne), this being Zoe's first league event,
she didn't score enough league points to threaten Amy for the league title, which she won yesterday.
