Welsh Senior League Division 2 - Match 2 Brecon, 6th July
Easy Victory for Newport Harriers Senior Men and Women
Newport’s small B squad made the trip to Brecon and scored an easy win in the
Welsh League ahead of the Old Contemptibles of Port Talbot.
Emrys Penny shaved a few tenths off his PB in the 1500m for 2nd place. Gavin
Belcher had his first outing of the season following hamstring problems and set
up personal markers in the 200m and 400m with two 2nd places. Dave Proffitt had
a brace of 2nd places in the 5000m and 1500m to keep the points coming in.
Newport’s individual track winners were Darryn McAtee in the 800m and B 200m and
Kirsty Crane in the women’s 400m. Emrys, Darryn, Gavin and Dave then teamed up
for two relay victories.
Rob Eales and Mark Boswell dominated in the heavy throws, securing double wins
in the shot and discus in which Mark broke his PB again, and a win for Mark in
his specialist hammer event. In the javelin Mark developed a curious technique
that involved a free-fall loop-the-loop as the javelin plummeted downwards but
this was good enough for another 2nd place.
