30 AUG - NI COMBINED EVENTS CHAMPIONSIPS
Championship competition made a welcome return to the Bangor Sportsplex over the weekend when the Northern Ireland Combined events Championships were held. Despite stormy intelrudes on Saturday and very strong winds on Sunday, which caused the cancellation of the vault, the events went well and there was a good atmosphere with the stadium staff being very helpful. North Down had a good weekend with three medals. Elleana Hamilford-Hull was 3rd in the U13 girls pentathlon, an event dominated by a talented English visitor but in which Elleana  led the big domestic field up to the final 800m. In the U17 boys octathlon Matthew Stockton capitalised on his throws expertise and Stephen Loughlin on his jumping ability, to finish 2nd and 3rd overall. Along with another club entrant Gareth Lyness they were dominant in the final 1500m which included seniors. Other club competitors in the various pentathlons were Sophie Cree at U13, Andrew Kennedy at U15 and Alex Catherwood and Ellen Robinson at U15. Regent House girls Barbara Moles and Clare Robinson train with the North Down squad and were 2nd and 3rd in the U17 heptathlon.

ravenhillNorth Down AC, running as Team Bangor, took the top honours in the 2nd BMC Ravenhill Mile on Thursday night at the half time interval of the Ulster v Leeds Carnegie rugby union match at Ravenhill Rugby Grounds before a 7000 strong appreciative crowd. Running in teams of two men and a woman with men running a mile and girls 1500m, the athletes provided a very tight race with Niall Robinson winning the close finish from teamate James Budde for Team Bangor. Jordan Stokes, running for the All Star Team was in 6th. It was first girl Lauren Scott though who was the star of the show, challenging the men to pass her to the crowd"s approval, only 6 of them managing it

25 AUG - HALF IRON MEN
Half a dozen or so of the club"s Monday night group survived the Groomsport Half Ironman last Sunday in the1900m swim, 58 mile cycle and a half marathon run with two doing very well. Les Wilkinson won the O/50s in 5hrs10mins and Gary Swenarton won the over 55s in 5hrs14mins. Alex Donald has had some good results on the triathlon circuit recently but a bad cycling crash a week ago coming after another while following the Tour de France left him unable to run. Despite that he completed the swimming and cycling stages and was well inside the top 10 overall before dropping. Congtratulations also to Debbie Matchett and Andrew Muir who had good runs in the Darragh Cross 6 mile road race, Debbie winning the womens race.

22 AUG - DOUBLE SUCCESS AT TEAM TROPHY
Team trophy presentationKenny Elliott and Gemma McAnirn led their teams from the front at a windy and showery Antrim Forum as North Down battled to victory in both man and womens categories at the Team Trophy. It may have not been our top success athletically and it was certainly not pretty but it was probably the most satisfying result of all. Partly because it was competive and every point in every event counted but because it was youth-based with a new generation of track athletes carrying the torch. There were some strong performances from established athletes - Hannah Lewis was immense at 100m, long jump and 4 x 100m, Kathy Hetherington twice added a metre to her ddiscus pb and won shot, Lauren Scott ran 10:03 in her first ever 3000m and Mark Patterson ran a 1500m pb. But at the end of the day it was an arm wrestlle for both men and women and it was the kids wot won it.
