Eva Massey and Vicki Jamison completed remarkable trebles in the Northern Ireland Athletics Championship at the Mary Peters Track.

Massey took gold in all three of her throwing events, shot, discus and hammer, with her 15m 30 in the shot being only two centimetres outside her Northern Ireland record.

Jamison started her track treble by winning the 100 metres in 12.20secs and then followed it up with gold in the 400m in 54.70.

Her day was completed when she took the 200m title in 25.07.

Ian McMullan set a new Northern Ireland record in the men's shot, he threw 16.56

The most exciting race of the day was the men's 800m, Raymon Adams eventually took that title after moving into the lead on the final bend.
