ROTHERY RECAPTURES TITLE
By missing the final fixture of the Borders League in Wrexham Eryri's Brendan Rothery forfeited the chance of taking the individual title but he made amends over the same course three days later by winning the North Wales 10-mile championship.
Last year he finished second behind Buckley's Matthew Rose but his time this year, even though he was 42 seconds slower, it was enough to regain the title he last won in 2010. His time then was one second faster than this year.
North Wales' top female runners were missing this time, with the first six finishers all being ineligible for the championship. The title therefore went to seventh-placed L50 Margaret Ludden (Buckley).
The first woman home, Salford's Hayley Kuter, broke the course record of 66.50 set last year by Emma Parry (Wrexham)
