December ROTM nominations were dominated by two events, Cross Country and the Seeley Cup. Suzanne Brennan was nominated for rounding up and leading the ladies XC team in to battle in the Athletics NI XC league. Club newcomer Ramunas Stanevicius received several nominations for some excellent PBs, race performances and team XC participation. Definitely a…
“Blow, blow, thou winter wind, thou art not so unkind as man’s ingratitude; Thy tooth is not so keen, because thou art not seen, although thy breath be rude.” So said my bro’ Willy Shakespeare. Probably after he visited Mallusk one January. But even he would have been impressed, nay overwhelmed, by the sight of…
My new year’s resolution is to be less sarcastic and more positive. How long do you think this fairy tale will last?! Anyway, resolutions are like kids – more fun making than keeping. On with the results… Late result from last week was Dawn Dubois completing the EAMS 10k on Sunday 31st in 1:21:50. On…
Too many selection boxes and too many germs in Chateau Cavillator and too many races to report. So it’s less talk and more action this week. As promised last week, here’s the Harrier results from the Leg It Hazelbank 5 Mile Xmas Run on 23rd. Seems a long time ago now! Alan Ladd 30:08PB, Joe…
Yes folks, it that time of year again. The time when just three little words can strike fear into the bravest – “some assembly required”. The time when nothing says Xmas like queueing for an overpriced German sausage outside City Hall. My club mates have come round to our house every year for the last…
November has been and gone in the blink of an eye and many Harriers are getting into the festive spirit, some more than others as we seen from hungover XC.

Karen McKee, Maeve Dunseath, Sarah McCafferty and Stephen Gallagher each received nominations this month for their positive attitudes and progress. Without a doubt it has been a great month for all four with regular training paying off across many distances and terrains, with some even braving the madness of the cross country. As always of…
Three of our Juniors received the Junior Harrier of the month award for November and the much sought after subway voucher that coach Skillen has been trying to get his hands on for months! Congratulations to Rory and Jasper Brooks, these two brothers are part of the XC team and put in excellent performances, even…
Congratulations to the winners of the Mallusk Harriers club championship, Tiffany Donaldson and Lee O’Boyle. This year’s competition was longer and tougher than ever spanning 10 months. There were 18 races for the ladies and 16 for the men, the majority of which were supporting our local and not so local neighbour clubs’ races. In…
Feats of endurance, sore limbs, injuries, heavy breathing, exhaustion to the point of blacking out. But enough of the Xmas dinner, let’s do the running first. A couple of results to tidy up from last week. Alan Ladd completed the Kirkistown Half marathon last Sunday in 1:25:45. What I didn’t realise was that he actually…
