A very pleasant day it turned out for the Athletes that were competing in not only the 5000mts but all the other Track & Field events.
8 Gentlemen set off for 12.5 laps of the Dam Park track & after 3 laps it was down to anyone of 3 to take the Medals that were on offer.Eddie Toner & Iain Connel (JWK) along with Kerry Liam Wilson (Girvan AAC) were swapping the lead for a short time but then Eddie Toner made a small gap which he kept right to the end & took the Gold Medal in a time of 15:54.Girvans Kerry Liam Wilson looked a cert for 2nd place when going thru the bell but somehow Iain Connel dug in deep & closed the gap on Kerry which in turn produced a fanatastic sprint finish for the 116 spectators who were present for the afternoons events.Kerry got a glimpse of Iain over his right shoulder & then made that final push for the line to take 2nd place & the Silver Medal in 16:08 just 2 secs in front of Iain Connel who had to settle for the Bronze this time round.Next home was JWK Scott Martin making his debut on the Track with 17:35 then Troons Robert Millar followed by Ayr's Connell Drummond with 19.29.
