Congratulations to Sue Hands, who has won a Silver medal in the W60 class at the World Masters in Portugal, a fantastic achievement, particularly considering the fact that she is only just recovering from breaking her ankle last October. At the same event, Keith Henderson was the first Brit home in 11th position in M65, having previously won his qualifying heat the day before. There were just over 200 W60's and almost 300 M65's competing at the event.
