November 29 – Superb Performances by Cork Teams at National Intercounty Senior, Junior and Juvenile Evenage Cross Country Championships
There were some fine performances by Cork athletes and teams at the above championships which were held in snowbound conditions at Gransha Grounds, Derry at the weekend. The day got off to a great start for Cork with Stephanie Cotter (West Muskerry AC) winning the Girls U12 race and leading the Cork team to victory in the intercounty competition. In the U14 category, Bela Sherlock (Dohenys AC) won individual silver and in the process led her club to the national title and the Cork team to silver medals in the intercounty contest.
There were some equally impressive performances in the boys evenage categories. Fergal Curtin (Youghal AC) finished 6th in the U14 race and led the county team to the silver medal position. Togher AC just missed out on interclub medals at U16 level by finishing 4th but took the U18 title in style as Cork also took intercounty honours.
In the Junior categories, Cork finished 4th in the ladies event with Orlagh Farmer (Midleton AC) finishing best of the Cork athletes in 19th place. Ryan Creech (Leevale AC) was first of the Cork juniors in a competitive mens race and Cork took silver medals in this event.
Lizzie Lee (Leevale AC) took individual silver in the senior ladies race, a performance that guaranteed her a place on the Irish team for the European Cross Country championships in a couple of weeks time. The Cork team did well to snatch bronze medals in the intercounty contest behind Dublin and Meath.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the senior mens race where the standard was as always of a particularly high calibre. Dublin were not to be denied another title with 4 of their top 6 finishers inside the top 10. The Cork team performed admirably though and finished a clear 2nd, the margin on this occasion much smaller than in previous years. Top Cork finisher was Mark Hanrahan (Leevale AC) in 10th with Fergus Meade (East Cork AC) who made the long trip from Leeds rounding out the top 6 in 43rd place. With a number of last minute injury withdrawals this was a particularly fine performance by the Cork team.
The County Board would like to thank each and every athlete, parent, coach and supporter for contributing to a very successful weekend for Cork athletics. We are well aware of the sacrifices that everyone made to travel such a long journey and we are most grateful to all of you for entering into the team spirit that goes hand-in-hand with cross country competition. We would like to thank Noel Curtin (Youghal AC) in particular for going beyond the call of duty by driving an athletes car back to Cork in difficult conditions on Sunday evening.

It’s the final call for all those who have booked tickets to ensure they are paid for by this Wednesday at the latest. If you still wish to attend and have not booked your tickets, do so immediately as the house full signs could be put up shortly. Marc Dalton, Kevin Smith and Fergal O’Meara are handling bookings at training this week.
The organising committee stress that all tickets booked will have to be paid for by Wednesday, other wise these spaces may be allocated to other club members. So you have been warned! The ‘male and female athlete of the year awards’ and the two‘most improved athlete of the year’ awards will be presented on the night.
Also all attending are reminded to mainatian our tradition and bring a spot prize to the function
Tour
The recent trip to Lanzarote was by all accounts a great success. We had our ultra reliable roving reporter Marc Dalton on duty and here is his eye witness account.
“After 6 months of planning the day finally came. The group touched down in Lanzarote at 5pm. Groups gathered for light early morning and cool evening runs.
The first 2 nights were started with a few drinks by the pool followed by an evening meal, and off to check out the local nightlife. On Saturday, the group went out by bus to check out the Club la Santa surroundings. It was really spectacular set up for all types of sports. Saturday night was quite with a few runners anticipating the first of the races on Sunday..
Sunday Race Day, 10 kThe Race itself was 2 loops of 5k to and from the Club La Santa Stadium.
16 Midleton AC runners took part. In the Men’s Race the club was led home by Kevin Smith, just back from a 5 month spell on the sideline in a fine time of 38:26(chip times). Just behind him was Noel O’ Regan(Casper) on 38:31 followed by Marc Dalton, Sean O Sullivan, Michael Murphy, Kevin Cooney, Emmett Hennessy, Tom Cody, Fergal O Meara, Mick Walsh, Donnie O Connell, John Carey, Brian Nolan and Donal Broderick.
The big story of the day was Michelle Nolan’s impressive performance to finish 3rd overall in a superb time just under the 40 min mark. She was followed home by Joan McCarthy.
It was a very hot day with temperature rising to 25®C.
Kevin Cooney and Jim McMurthy, ran the 5K Beach run in Puerto Del Carmen on Tuesday morning.
By all accounts it was a very tough course with the sand very heavy to run at times, Well done to the lads for finishing this one.
The general assumption was that people had a fantastic time and can’t wait for next year to see what trip will be planned for 2011”
East Cork 3K Series
Meantime back home Darragh Canavan continues to ‘burn it up’ in the East Cork AC 3K Winter Series. The Cloyne man was our club’s top performer last week and came home in 12th place in a cracking time of 10:46, to enhance his reputation over the distance. Stan Byczek produced his best recent run when breaking the 11 minute barrier and in the process fiinish just five places behind Darragh. Just 2 seconds further down was Eric Owers in 11:02, another superb race for a man that has made a big impression in his first season with the club. Conor McGrath is another man hitting the heights at present as reflected in his 11:12 time. Next to cross the line was Adam Duchnicz,, who is top form after his fine performance in the Dublin Marathon.
Good runs were also enjoyed last week by Neilus Aherne, Kevin O’Reilly, Mike Hallahan, Joan Hough (our 1st lady), Colm Egan, Brian Kenneally, Claire Fitzgerald, Susan Delaney, Caroline Fletcher, Camilla O’Connor, Yvonne Kennedy, Vincent Connolly, Christine Murphy, Elaine Hennessy, Vicki Cleary, Philip Mullane, Danny McCarthy, Margaret Twohig, Ann Savage, Marie Magan, Ber Twomey, Sally Drennan, Mags Mulcahy, Simon Thompson, Barry Ahern, Sinead Ivers, Marian Cotter, Grainne O’Flaherty, Yvonne Savage, Breda Cahill, Alan Kelleher, Lisa O’Lomasney, Catriona Brennock, Sinead Buckley, Helen Gilroy, Colette Barry, Mary Cashman, Sile Kierans, Debbie McCarthy and Mary Toher.
Great credit is due to many of our club’s latest recruits who joined the club in October. Since then they have been training in the beginner’s group under the guidance of Vincent Connolly and have since graduated to take part in the3K Series. Next race is on Tuesday December 14th,
Inniscarra ‘4’ Mile Race
Overall the entry was some what down from recent years in the Inniscarra ‘4’ Miler which took place on Sunday week last. John O’Connell, Ned Ramsell, John O’Halloran and Brian Healy were all well up in the top half of the field .For the first time ever in the history of the race no Midleton AC lady participated.
The next BHAA fixture is the final one of the year and takes the shape of a charity run in aid of the Cork Simon Community. It will be held on the Marina Road Circuit over a distance of 4 miles on Sunday week, December 12th at 11am. It is unique on the athletics calendar in that no watches are allowed and the aim is to predict your finishing time in order to win the race. It’s all good fun for a very good cause.
Congrats To Sally and Joan
Many congratulations ar eextended to Sally Drennan and Joan Hough who won silver and bronze medals respectively in their categories at the Munster Masters Cross Country Championships which were held in Dungarvam recently. Both have been great campaigners on the road and in cross country circles in recent times, winning several honours during 2010.
Ballycotton 2011
It’s that time of year again when the word Ballycotton gets a regular mention in our conversations. All club members should note that entry forms for next year’s race will be available at training on this Wednesday evening. There is then a two week window of opportunity to submit your entry.
Mallow/Dungarvan ‘10’ Milers
Ballycotton forms the third part of the John Buckley Sports sponsored ‘10’ Mile Series. Remember you can enter for the first two races by logging on to the respective web sites of both organising clubs. Mallow AC are already counting down to their opener on January 9th and although you may enter on the day, pre entry is a big step forward for all concerned. Remember Race 2 in Dungarvan three weeks later is by pre entry only – so log on West Waterford AC for further info and don’t be left disappointed.
Marathons
The new Clonakilty Half/Full Marathon the Waterford AC Half Marathon on Saturday week offer runners a rare opportunity at this time of year to cover the long distances. However, a journey around either 13.1 mile route would represent great preparation for the aforementioned ‘10’ Mile Series.
Club Merchandise
Club merchandise is still on sale from our clothing officer Claire Fitzgerald. Track suits, tee shirts and hats represent a nice Christmas gift ideas for the runner in your life.
Christmas On Horizon
Our next detailed update in two weeks time will be our final extended bulletin before Christmas. We will carry a full preview of all the holiday fixtures, but would also like to hear your thoughts.

Anyone that has photos that they want put online please e mail them to the club at midletonac@ireland.com or contact Marc at training and he will arrange it for you. It would be a good idea to save the address to your browser as he hopes to update it regularly.

Christmas Dinner
Midleton AC annual Christmas Dinner is now approaching on the horizon. Saturday December 4 is the date for the diary and this year’s function will be held at Midleton Park Hotel. Already many members have booked their tickets and we now encourage all those who may intend to do so, to book as soon as possible as numbers are limited. The organising committee also stress that all money must be paid in advance. Please contact Marc Dalton, Fergal O’Meara or Kevin Smith at training either on Monday or Wednesday.
Remember the cost of subsidised tickets for members is just 20 euro. It’s 39 euro for non members.
The highlight of the function will be the naming of both the Female and Male Athlete of the Year award winners. Also this year two new awards are being introduced for the Most Improved Male Athlete and the Most Improved Female Athlete of 2010. After a year of great success for the club there are many outstanding candidates for all 4 accolades.
Winter Sun
A travelling part of almost 30 Midleton AC personnel will be flying high on this Thursday when they head for the sunshine of Lanzarote. There are three races taking place during the 5 days of the stay. Best wishes to all – have a great holiday!.
Back Home
Meantime, back home for those of us who will have to deal with frost and rain, there are two local fixtures in the immediate future. The Inniscarra Community Centre ‘4’ Mile Classic take places under Cork BHAA rules with 11.30am start on Sunday next.
Then on Tuesday week we have the third race in the East Cork AC Winter 3K Series. Already this year some outstanding performances have been recorded by many of our athletes in this Series. The likes of Darragh Canavan, John O’Connell, Eric Owers, Marc Dalton and Owen O’Connell will no doubt be eying up another big performance on Tuesday next in the popular event.
In cross country action the Munster Masters Championships will be held in Dungarvan on Sunday next.
‘10’ Mile Spring Classic Series
The John Buckley Sports Munster Spring Classic Series which takes in four ‘10’ Mile Road Races in three counties is likely to again prove a major attraction for runners in early 2011.
Full details of the forthcoming series were confirmed recently with the popular venues of Mallow, Dungarvan, Ballycotton and Kilnaboy set to be the focal points for many runners’ ambitions over the first few months of the new calendar year.
All roads will lead to Mallow on Sunday January 9 when the host club Mallow AC will hopefully have a clear run with weather this time around. The industrious North Cork club were unfortunate earlier this year when due to freezing conditions they had to move the series opener from it’s original date, a fate that also befell them a few years earlier when dense fog descended on the banks of the Blackwater.
On line entry at a cost of 15 euro for the 2011 Mallow ‘10’ opens TODAY. Whilst entries will taken on race day (costing 20 euro each), advance entry greatly benefits the organising committee. Action is scheduled to begin as usual at 12.30pm.
Incidentally this year’s race was eventually run in early February and saw Carraig na bhFear clubman Colin Merritt lead home a field numbering over 500 in a winning time of 53:17.
Race 2 on the provincial series will take the runners to Dungarvan for the West Waterford AC promoted ‘10’ on Sunday January 30. The event will again be sponsored by Quantum Life, but the local committee have stressed that no entries will be taken on race day. At present intending participants can enter for the race for 15 euro up until December 17. From there until the final cut off point of January 17, entry will cost 20 euro.
It will be 20 years since the inception of the race and the occasion will be extra special as former World Cross Country Champion and Olympic medallist John Treacy will be part of the big day. In his honour the inaugural John Treacy Club Challenge will be launched to find Ireland’s best teams over the classic 10 mile distance.
After that comes the Ballycotton ‘10’, but much earlier the ‘house full’ signs will again be displayed in advance of the most famous road fixture in the land.
Arrangements for the 2011 race are similar to twelve months ago. Application forms can be applied for up until Friday November 26 by sending a SAE to Ballycotton Running Promotions. All forms will then be posted out on the following Monday, whilst forms may also be downloaded from the web site from Tuesday evening November 30. The first 2,500 postal entries opened will automatically be accepted.
Thereafter there will be an extra window of opportunity up until December 16 for AAI registered club runners and runners who completed this year’s 2010 Ballycotton Summer Road Race Series. The big race itself will take place on Sunday March 6. Entry forms will be available at Midleton AC training on Wednesday December 1.
In stark contrast there are no such deadlines in relation to the concluding fixture in late spring. The beautiful Burren landscape which sets the backdrop for the Sonny Murphy Memorial Kilnaboy ‘10’ in April usually attracts no more than 300 runners. Entries on Sunday April 10 will again be taken on the day.

Midleton AC annual Christmas Dinner is now approaching on the horizon. Saturday December 4 is the date for the diary and this year’s function will be held at Midleton Park Hotel. Already many members have booked their tickets and we now encourage all those who may intend to do so, to book as soon as possible as numbers are limited. The organising committee also stress that all money must be paid in advance. Please contact Marc Dalton, Fergal O’Meara or Kevin Smith at training either on Monday or Wednesday.
Remember the cost of subsidised tickets for members is just 20 euro. It’s 39 euro for non members.
The highlight of the function will be the naming of both the Female and Male Athlete of the Year award winners. Also this year two new awards are being introduced for the Most Improved Male Athlete and the Most Improved Female Athlete of 2010. After a year of great success for the club there are many outstanding candidates for all 4 accolades.
Winter Sun
A travelling part of almost 30 Midleton AC personnel will be flying high on this Thursday when they head for the sunshine of Lanzarote. There are three races taking place during the 5 days of the stay. Best wishes to all – have a great holiday!.
Back Home
Meantime, back home for those of us who will have to deal with frost and rain, there are two local fixtures in the immediate future. The Inniscarra Community Centre ‘4’ Mile Classic take places under Cork BHAA rules with 11.30am start on Sunday next.
Then on Tuesday week we have the third race in the East Cork AC Winter 3K Series. Already this year some outstanding performances have been recorded by many of our athletes in this Series. The likes of Darragh Canavan, John O’Connell, Eric Owers, Marc Dalton and Owen O’Connell will no doubt be eying up another big performance on Tuesday next in the popular event.
In cross country action the Munster Masters Championships will be held in Dungarvan on Sunday next.
‘10’ Mile Spring Classic Series
The John Buckley Sports Munster Spring Classic Series which takes in four ‘10’ Mile Road Races in three counties is likely to again prove a major attraction for runners in early 2011.
Full details of the forthcoming series were confirmed recently with the popular venues of Mallow, Dungarvan, Ballycotton and Kilnaboy set to be the focal points for many runners’ ambitions over the first few months of the new calendar year.
All roads will lead to Mallow on Sunday January 9 when the host club Mallow AC will hopefully have a clear run with weather this time around. The industrious North Cork club were unfortunate earlier this year when due to freezing conditions they had to move the series opener from it’s original date, a fate that also befell them a few years earlier when dense fog descended on the banks of the Blackwater.
On line entry at a cost of 15 euro for the 2011 Mallow ‘10’ opens TODAY. Whilst entries will taken on race day (costing 20 euro each), advance entry greatly benefits the organising committee. Action is scheduled to begin as usual at 12.30pm.
Incidentally this year’s race was eventually run in early February and saw Carraig na bhFear clubman Colin Merritt lead home a field numbering over 500 in a winning time of 53:17.
Race 2 on the provincial series will take the runners to Dungarvan for the West Waterford AC promoted ‘10’ on Sunday January 30. The event will again be sponsored by Quantum Life, but the local committee have stressed that no entries will be taken on race day. At present intending participants can enter for the race for 15 euro up until December 17. From there until the final cut off point of January 17, entry will cost 20 euro.
It will be 20 years since the inception of the race and the occasion will be extra special as former World Cross Country Champion and Olympic medallist John Treacy will be part of the big day. In his honour the inaugural John Treacy Club Challenge will be launched to find Ireland’s best teams over the classic 10 mile distance.
After that comes the Ballycotton ‘10’, but much earlier the ‘house full’ signs will again be displayed in advance of the most famous road fixture in the land.
Arrangements for the 2011 race are similar to twelve months ago. Application forms can be applied for up until Friday November 26 by sending a SAE to Ballycotton Running Promotions. All forms will then be posted out on the following Monday, whilst forms may also be downloaded from the web site from Tuesday evening November 30. The first 2,500 postal entries opened will automatically be accepted.
Thereafter there will be an extra window of opportunity up until December 16 for AAI registered club runners and runners who completed this year’s 2010 Ballycotton Summer Road Race Series. The big race itself will take place on Sunday March 6. Entry forms will be available at Midleton AC training on Wednesday December 1.

Marathon Reflections
Perfect weather conditions on Bank Holiday Monday in Dublin helped make it an almost perfect day for many runners in the record Marathon field. Our representatives did the club proud with their excellent performances and whilst much of the post race chat has been about the first few across the line, each and everyone of our 17 strong entry can be very proud of their performances.
However, it would be remiss not to again illuminate the superb individual performances of our leading man and leading lady. Neilus Aherne broke new ground when conquering the magical three hour mark with arguably the finest display of his career. The same script could be written about Michelle Nolan who put in massive pre race effort and was rewarded with personal best time of 3:01, leaving her as the 5th lady Over 35 to cross the line.
Elsewhere there many more stories to tell, amongst them a husband and wife double delight. Joan and Danny McCarthy along with Mary and Mark Walshe both completed another marathon on a day when the younger generation from both households continued the sporting family feel good factor. Cathal McCarthy and Cormac Walshe were both part of the Midleton team that claimed County Premier Minor Hurling Championship glory, just hours after their parents had received their marathon day medals.
Adam Duchnicz produced another excellent run inside 3:15 whilst not far behind Peter Gunning. Mick Murphy, Owen O’Connell and Vincent O’Neill can all be very pleased with their solid displays. Denis Kelleher added another excellent finishing time to his extensive collection of recent marathon exploits.
As for the ladies there was a mixture of new and experienced runners on the start line and the name of Deirdre Aherne certainly stands out after she excelled with a 3:42 finish first time out. Heartiest congratulations are also extended to Noreen Emerson, Mary Toher, Anne McCarthy and Catriona McGregor who all completed the course in fine style. (Full marathon results including split times are available by logging on to the Dublin Marathon web site.)
There is still plenty of marathon talk in the air at present. Clonakilty is due to host it’s inaugural marathon early next month, whilst Waterford city looks set to join the marathon brigade with a new race in November 2011. Before that some of our Midleton athletes are planning a spring time marathon abroad whilst word has it that there is a change on the way in relation to the Cork City Marathon next June.
Shorter Races
In the meantime there is plenty of action this side of the New Year with the East Cork 3K continuing every third Tuesday (NEXT RACE THIS TUESDAY – 7.30PM) and the usual list of traditional races at this time of the season.
The upcoming programme includes the Lisgoold 5K on Sunday next at 11am, the Inniscarra 4 Miler on Sunday 22nd at 11.30am, the Cork Simon Christmas Run on Sunday December 12th, and the Belgooly ‘4’ on St Stephen’s Day.
HSE 4 Mile
Sunday saw the BHAA fixture list continue with the HSE 4 Mile race on the Marina/Monahan Road circuit. The fact that we had heavy rain overnight and that the County Cross Country Championships were on later, prevented some runners from taking part but there was still a healthy turn out.
Midleton AC were again well represented with several of our runners producing very good performances. Congrats to Peter Gunning who picked an individual prize just seven days after his marathon exploits and also to our club members who were amongst the team prize winners.
Munster 10 Mile Series
Mallow, Dungarvan, Ballycotton and Kilnaboy will again be in the spotlight during the early months of the New Year when the John Buckley Sports Munster 10 Mile Classic Series will occupy the minds of many runners. Race 1 is in Mallow on Sunday January 9 (12.30pm). Whilst entries will be taken in advance or on the day for this race, the organisers of Race 2 in Dungarvan on Sunday January 30th have stressed that they will only accept pre entries. It costs 15 euro before December 17th or 20 euro before the final cut off point of January 17th. More info is available on the West Waterford AC web site.
In relation to Ballycotton, the race of course is pre entry only and the organisers have issued the following press information in relation to the 2011 event.
1) People can apply for forms from now up until Friday November 26th by sending a SAE to: Ballycotton Running Promotions, Ballycotton, Co Cork
2) All forms will then be posted out on Monday November 29th - ideally to arrive with applicants by the following day (Tuesday).
3) The entry form will be put up on the website www.ballycottonrunning.com on Tuesday evening (Nov 30th), also in John Buckley Sports (Cork), Ger Wyley Sports (Dungarvan) and local shops in Ballycotton and Shanagarry that same afternoon.
4) The first 2,500 postal entries opened will be automatically accepted – regardless of who they are.
5) Entries for the following will be accepted by post up to and including Thursday December 16th:
(a) All bona fide AAI (Athletics Ireland) registered club members.
(b) All runners who completed the 2010 Ballycotton Summer Road Race Series (all four 5-mile events).
6) All bona fide overseas entrants accepted by post up and including Monday January 10th.
7) As usual, a limited number of elite athletes will be accepted up to near race day.
REMEMBER - When applying for forms, please enclose a large (A4) SAE with the correct postage, stating the number of forms required. If more than one form is going to the same address (two or three members of the same family, etc) one envelope is sufficient.
If the correct postage is not on the envelope we cannot be held responsible for postal delays. Also, we prefer people to enter on the official form, so ask for enough of forms – there is no need to photo-copy.
From our club point of view the most important reference is in point number 5. The extra few weeks for all club athletes does take the pressure off, but don’t caught out and get too relaxed about the deadline date. Get the form filled up and sent away! We will have forms available at training after November 30th.
There are no such deadlines in relation to the final fixture in the Series which will be held in Kilnaboy in County Clare in mid April. Here the average turn out is in the region of 300 athletes.
Cross Country
After last Sunday’s County Senior and Junior Cross Country Championships in Cloyne, there is more action on the immediate agenda. Next Sunday sees the Munster Intermediate Championships in Charleville, on Sunday November 14th the County Intermediate Championships will be hosted in Carraig na bhFear whilst on Sunday November 21st it’s the Munster Masters Championships in Dungarvan.
Sally Drennan is doing a wonderful job in promoting cross country in our club. You can call Sally on 087-2265857 regarding entry details for all the above. So far this year Midleton AC have certainly stepped up their presence on previous years, so why not keep up the trend and make a temporary change and sample life off the roads.
Christmas Dinner
So far there has been a very good response to this year’s Christmas Dinner which will be hosted by Midleton Park Hotel on Saturday December 4th. On offer is a 3 course meal for just 20 euro for all club members – the cost for non members is 39 euro. All bookings and payments should be made to Fergal O’Meara or Marc Dalton at training on Mondays or Wednesdays.
Club Merchandise
There is a range of quality club merchandise available for purchase at training each week. Our Clothing Officer Claire Fitzgerald is the contact person in relation to singlets, track suits, rain jackets, caps etc which are great value as they are heavily subsidised by the club. But don’t delay hurry whilst stocks last.
Midleton AC Key Contact
Again we would like to highlight especially to new members the many ways of keeping in touch with club info and ongoing running details.

Training
Training returns to normal again this week after a temporary alteration last week. The Monday sessions at Midleton College All Weather Pitch have a slant towards speed training and runs from 6pm to 7pm. The beginner’s session continues from 6pm to 7pm at Midleton Community Centre each Wednesday with the usual follow on session for the rest of the club taking place at the same venue from 7pm to 8pm.
