Mealagh Valley Ring 10 Mile
In a race that describes itself as Blood, Sweat and Tears and then add into the mix the wind and rain we had this morning you will get some idea of what this was like. Brutal is the word used to describe it. That did not daunt to mighty Midleton AC ladies who came home with fantastic results Sheila Buckley 2nd overall and Helen Gilroy 3rd overall. Well done ladies great to see ye getting back there.
Dungarvan 10Km
Saving the best result (highest finish) till last we had a winner here in Dungarvan this morning. Anna Doris also braved the wind and rain and was 1st Lady home. Over a tough course with a very strong headwind from mile two on she claimed another well deserved victory. Not leaving it all to the ladies Sean O'Sullivan took 1st O/45 with another great run and John Cashman also had a fine run.

Martin Coleman was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease in April 2011. We need to raise 10,000 euro to enable us to purchase a Smartbox and software (SB Mounted) for Martin. The smartbox Tablet will give Martin back the ability to ring people, to go on the internet, to change the TV channel and work any infrared device. This is vital as this will enable Martin to keep up with the world.
