Dungarvan 10k
Six of our members ran the Dungarvan 10k on Sunday in windy conditions - Fergal O'Meara, Trevor Condon, Ger O'Regan, Kevin Morrison and Esther Murphy and Amanda Cooney. Esther who was 4th lady overall had a fine run and got 1st O/40 for her efforts - it is great to see her back after a prolonged injury last year. Well done to all.

Cloyne 4Km
A total of two hundred and fifteen runners took part in the Cloyne 4Km on Sunday and as per usual we had a great crowd out from the club. Gerard McLean was our first man home coming sixth over all in a time of 14.48 closely followed two seconds later by Mike Cremin. This was a PB for Gerard and Edwin Cashman who is improving with every race also got a new PB.
Eileen Leahy was an easy winner of the ladies race and that means she has the overall title already in he bag. There was some fine running from all our athletes and it was really great to see Rod Scanlan continue to make progress after his long absence due to injury also to see Kathleen O'Connell back in action again. Please let me know re PBs etc mdtacinfo@gmail.com
Carrigaline 5Mile
A great crowd turned out for the Carrigaline 5 Mile also on Sunday morning. We had two runners here Noel O'Regan who just used it as a training run and Christopher McCarthy who had a very fine run and was just one second off his target time so things are looking good for him to break that magic seventy in Ballycotton in two weeks time.
