Blast From The Past

Twenty years ago today we ran the last race of the millinium organised by Duhallow AC. I recall that at the time there was some great hype about it and to cap things off they had a special memorial plate for all finishers. 
We had the mugs from Ballycotton 10 and now the plate from Duhallow. I recall Donie and Kathleen O'Connell were also there as was the great and much lamented Frankie Devlin who won 1st O/45 on the day.
The following day we took the road to Bandon for the Bandon 5 which was the first race of the new millinium. I cannot recall what we got that day but it definately was not a saucer. Danny

RACE ROUND UP

Togher 5Km

Sunday 29th saw the Togher 5Km take place in ideal conditions. A total of seven hundred and seventy nine runners finished the race. We saw some great racing up front with both the Male and Female course records being broken by Rory O'Connor North Cork AC and Michelle Finn Levale AC.
Our first man home was Frank O'Brien 15.55 finishing 10th overall and he was followed by Barry O'Shea 17.06 and 25th overall. All the others seemed to have fine runs also.
