ROBERTS NICKS NW TITLE IN SPRINT FINISH
Tomos Roberts (Meirionnydd), the current North Wales 5k champion, completed the "double" by winning the 10k title in Caernarfon, but had to work hard for it.
In one of the most exciting finishes in the race's history he and Menai's Stefan Sayer entered the field together but Roberts edged ahead in the short climb to the finish to win by a single second.
The ladies' title went to in-form veteran Helen Davies (Wrecsam Tri), who finished 20th overall and was almost three minutes clear of runner-up Anest Muller (West Cheshire).
Due to problems with the recording it was impossible to determine all the North Wales championship placings immediately after the event so all the results are provisional at this stage. They will be confirmed later.
Denbigh's John Morris did a double of a different kind at the weekend. On Saturday he finished 10th in the Blackpool Hilton 10k in 35.49 and in Caernarfon he finished in the same position, clocking 37.09 to win the U23 class.
