Grange Fermoy 4 Mile
The Grange Fermoy 4 Mile Road Race was held on Sunday morning in very hot conditions. Very well organised as we have come to expect We had two runners there and both had very fine runs Ger O'Regan who did 24.27 (chip time) and was 2nd O/50 and Joseph Power who did 31.35 (chip time) and came 2nd O/65. These are fine time for such very hot conditions. Well done guys.
GOLD In The Munster U23 Championships For

Frank O'Brien struck GOLD again this morning his second GOLD in under four days. Frank won the U23 Munster Championships 1500m in 4.08 just one second off his PB. Considering the wind that was there and the heat that is there also that is some great running.

East Cork 5Km Track Championships MTU
A Clean Sweep Of Victories For Midleton AC Men
Some class running was to be seen on Wednesday evening on the MTU Track where the East Cork 5Km Championships took place. In race one we had three runners and Frank O'Brien ran a beautiful race where he led from start to finish accompanied by two East Cork runners for a lot of the race with over a lap to go Frank ran clean away from them and went on to win in fine style. John Hennessy and Henry Millward also ran and both had fine runs on a very hot evening.
In race number two Ger O'Regan also led from start to finish and at no stage was there any doubt but that he was in control all the way Making it extra hard on himself when he had no one challenging him.
So all in all it was a great evening for the club making it a clean sweep in both men's races. A huge THANK YOU to Carrignavar AC who organised the event and gave up their track time to facilitate it.
