In the Masters Category, Jerome Foley was representing our club for the first time in a championship competition. Jerome who is no stranger to the short distance, although it has been a few years since he competed at Munster level, raced in the O50 800m race. With seven men racing in his category it was sure to be a good test of strength and speed. Jerome ran a very good tactical race and crossed the line in 1st place taking Gold in a time of 2:28.10. Well done Jerome, I am sure we will see you on the podium again.
