Corrin Leeming stormed back from injury to win the opening round of Western AC’s Dave Phillips road running series at Peel on Friday evening.

His time for two laps of the near two-mile promenade/headlands course was an impressive 20 minutes 55 seconds, crossing the finish line opposite the former Creg Malin Hotel more than four minutes clear of Steven Kelly, with club stalwart Geoff Rice third in front of leading female Becky Watterson.

The single-lapper saw a 1-2-3 for junior competitors Bernat Munoz-Fite, Finbar McSevney and Xenia Munoz-Fite, with Emma Sturgess in fourth.
