Matt Wray braved unseasonably wintery conditions and the close attentions of the top women to take another lump off his 10K personal best at the Laganside 10K. Despite the bitterly cold and strong wind, and occasional wintery showers, Matt improved on a PB from only 3 weeks ago by 20sec to claim 8th place overall in a very strong field.
Ian Barrett couldn't quite match Matt's exploits, finishing 13 places further back in 21st.
