VAUGHAN WINS ISLAND HALF AT A CANTER
With next month's London Marathon debut in mind Eryri's Alun Vaughan might have hoped for a really testing workout in the second Island Half-Marathon in Anglesey but it proved to be little more than a time trial for him.
Unsurprisingly, he won in a very respectable time of 69.56, but was in a class of his own as runner-up Andy Walling was over seven minutes behind.
Alison Lavender (Oswestry) had to work much harder for her victory in the ladies' race, coming home just 15 seconds clear of Bangor University student Sarah Caskey, who had taken the lead at the 10-mile stage. Lavender's strong finish led to her breaking the course record by 10 minutes.
