Pen fell race

SCHOOLTEACHER ROBERTS IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN

Welsh international Matthew Roberts totally  dominated  proceedings in the Penmaenmawr fell-race, defying the muddy conditions to set a new course record of 68.38 for the 11-mile course.

 The Calder Valley athlete took the lead from the gun and was never challenged, and he finished over six minutes clear of fellow international Gareth Hughes.

 In third place was veteran Lloyd Taggart, who had held the record of 69.49 since 2005.

 The aptly named Hunters Bog Trotters took the honours in the ladies' race, taking the first two places through Briony Curtis and Megan Mowbray, with local Sarah Ridgway just seconds behind in third.
