Turnbull’s perfect timing

GARETH TURNBULL claimed the 1,500m berth at the world championships in a spectacular if not sensational final at the Woodies DIY national track and field championships at Morton Stadium yesterday where the Belfast man outfoxed and outsprinted James Nolan in a flying finish to win in 3:40.32.

Turnbull’s perfect timing

It was unfortunate that the place on the Irish team had to come down to this ­ Turnbull was the first to admit it but it certainly added an air of excitement to the second day's programme and provided the finish of the day with Nolan just .15 of a second behind at the line after almost stealing the race.

Third place went to Brian Murray (Templemore AC) who will head to the world student games in Korea.
