Club member Brendan Barry took part in the Palestine Half Marathon last weekend. Brendan reports
"Back after an exhausting trip to Palestine (West Bank) & a run in the Freedom of Movement for Palestinians Marathon. I was in the Half Marathon. The people there showed us incredible hospitality and friendship under extremely difficult circumstances. This was in contrast to our seven hours of interrogation with two deportations from our group in Tel Aviv Airport."
Mallow 10
We had a fine crowd in Mallow on Sunday but roughly about half of the twenty nine from the club that entered ran. Our first man home with a very good run was Edwin Cashman and our first lady was Sheila Buckley (who also did Cloyne earlier in the day). All our runners seemed to get on very well on what was an ideal day for racing.
Special congrats to Marian Aherne our only prize winner who came 3rd O/50.
