Club Report – Sunday 24th March 2019

A big thank you to my glamourous assistant for last week’s report. They are the Debbie McGee of the reporting world but have been spoken to about their taste in music. Again.

But this week is all about one place. The home of Keith Gillespie, Dave “Boy” McAuley, Jonathan Rea and James McIlroy. The only place I know to have a calcium silicate mineral named after it. Yes, we’re talking about Ca2SiO4 – Larnite. (Every day’s a school day in the Harrier reports folks.)

But before all that, taking on the parkruns this week were:
Valley parkrun:
Tom Fleming 20:02 (and 3rd overall), Damien Cole 29:03, Yasmin Lynn 29:27, Jim Hewitt 29:28, Marga Casacuberta 35:18, Patricia Kane 49:18, Rosalind Stitt 49:18, Lorraine-Ann Forsythe 51:17, Noel Bloomfield 51:23

Well done to everyone. Fun in the sun all round.
Not one result posted in Team App so I have only noted the PBs I heard about (and can still remember!).

I could have given you “Forty Shades of Green” as this week’s tune but, after last week’s horror show I think you need something better. So, here’s one from the best thing out of Larne since the Stranraer ferry, Therapy!
Sing along…….
