Julie Balmer was easily first woman home in the Albertville 5 Mile Road Race, held in glorious spring conditions round the Duncrue Industrial Estate and sponsored by Belfast City Council on Saturday. With a time of 30:15 min, Julie easily broke the club 5 mile record and led North Down women to another team victory. With good packing Jessica Craig was 5th, Debbie Matchett 6th, Ange Perrott 7th and the new Mrs Aicken ( Jill Dowie) 8th. Debbie won the F40 prize and Ange the F35 prize. With the younger men racing in Dublin on Sunday, the mens race was left to the Dads Army brigade again with category wins going to Gary Swenarton (M55), David Seaton (M60) and Fred Murdoch (M65).
