cities chosen to host Custom House Square was the starting

point for the Belfast Mile - those taking part could

events too, for all ages. Some well-known faces went along

times as well. But we did that and we matched them, really. It was

:04:36.:04:41.

good. Despite nothing tangible on the line, there was plenty of grit

:04:42.:04:45.

between the sides. In the end, it was Irish smiles and the perfect
