Finally arrived back in the Guildhall tower after celebrating with the runners in Saturday’s Waterside Half Marathon.  The day was a huge success and the sun shone as well – just to prove once more that God loves the great North West!!  Tá meas ollmhór againn orthu go léir!

Amongst other North West names crossing the finish line were John Duddy and Councillor Mark H Durkan.  Journal editor Martin McGinley provided a light-hearted [and full-hearted!] diary over the summer on his preparations for the race. He hasn’t posted yet on the outcome – and he deserves a rest no doubt. NBNW didn’t see him cross the line – so looking forward to finding out how he did.  Did he beat big Duddy?!
