YOGA with Women In Sport

Nathalie O'Connell reports

Saturday 15th August marked our local women in sport 'Power and Flow' with Carol O'Brien yoga. Which took place on a beautiful morning, we had a great turn-out of 10 women in the most idealic setting of Driftwood Saleen and even better company. Think this is one of our favourite events yet! Well done everyone who attended!

Kathleen Wins Again

Westport Olympic Triathlon

Kathleen Ryan reports

 I won my age group in Westport Olympic triathlon. 7th lady overall. My first one at that distance so I was delighted. National series race so was competitive enough! There was a 10km at the end I didn’t know how it would go but I was happy enough with it.

Macroom 5Km

This took place on Tuesday and we had one runner there Michael Beirne who had another fine run.

 

WEEKEND RUNAROUND

Youghal Half Marathon and 10Km

It was a very warm morning for the Youghal Half Marathon and still warmer for the 10Km on today Sunday but everyone managed fine runs. Martin Collier was our first runner home in 1.22.08 finishing 25th overall and Emma Bell was our first lady 1.47.29. It was great to see Gillian Bransfield running so well after a long break due to injury. In the 10Km Ger O'Regan came 1st O/55.with a good solid run. There were lots of complaints about the heat and it seemed to effect everyone.

Well done Youghal AC on a well organised event.

Thanks to Siobhan and Martha for the extra photos

Gold and Silver at the National Championships

We had some great results at the National Masters Championships in the Morton Stadium in Dublin today Saturday where Neilus Aherne took Gold in a sprint finish in the O/70 5000m race and Sinead Falvey took Silver in the Ladies O/40 800m event

Unfortunately the live coverage left a lot to be desired as they were showing the warm up for the shot when Neilus was claiming his victory in a very exciting finish and as they didn't distinguish the categories one didn't know where Sinead was in her race.

Great to see Emma Bell back in action and competing in the graded league series in the MTU.

Coming soon another local one. Support Local

Date for the Diary

Sterling 5 Km

This BHAA race took place in Ringaskiddy on Wed evening. We had two runners there. John Cashman and Maurice Corcoran Maurice reports 

 "I ran the Sterling 5K last night. Tough race especially run up to the finish. Managed to get a PB. Would have been nice to break 24 mins too but as you can see I literally threw myself over the line . Was few seconds faster on watch alright"
