Hi,
Below are this week's notes.
The first race of this year's annual 5K Series organised by Gneeveguilla AC was held in Killarney National Park on Saturday 4th Feb. There was a good representation from our club members. George McCarthy was first to cross the line with Dermot Dineen just behind. Dermot was followed by Maria McCarthy who was third lady.Jerome Foley, Marie McKenna, Bernie O'Mahony, Christine Spillane all ran well. In the juvenile category we had the three McCarthy sisters, Shauna, Eabha & Rhian with Meabh Dineen also competing. Race 2 of 4 race series will be held next Saturday starting at 11am.
Well done to our club members who competed in this years Dungarvan 10mile road race.
