Cloyne 4Km
Another Win for a Midleton AC woman
Another huge crowd turned out Sunday morning for the Cloyne 4Km. A total of 281 competed on what was a lovely morning for a run.
It was great to see Helen Gilroy coming back into her own and making it a great start to the new year by coming 1st Lady (16.04). This was Helen's first race after a very nasty injury and she is only in the early stages of training. She was closely followed by the constantly improving Eileen Leahy(16.28) who was 2nd Lady and our next lady was Vicki Cleary (16.52) who finished a very close 4th lady with another fine run.
Our first man was the flying Paul Spiteri (14.48) finishing 11th overall and was closely followed by Mike Cremin (14.57) 14th overall. Next came John Dunphy 15.30 who is just getting back to full training also. Well done to all our members who took part.

It Takes a Midleton AC woman to beat the Cats
Margaret Jones ventured up to Kilkenny on Sat morning to take part in het first ever Park Run on a fine frosty morning. Not knowing her opposition or the course very well being the wise woman she is she started near the back and was able to enjoy picking people off all the way. It was a three loop course with a fine hill to be repeated the three times. She was the 1st Lady (21mins) home and finished 10th overall out of a field of one hundred and seventy two. She achieved an age graded score of 76.23%. Now if we could only get our hurlers to do the same. Well done Margaret and there is no truth in the rumour that she was only showing off for her grandson Dylan who was there supporting her.
