East Cork Road Racing Championships

Silver and Bronze Individual Medals

GOLD for our Ladies Team

Bronze for our Men's Team

Best Result In Years For Our Club

We saw some fantastic racing Thursday evening in Ballynoe. Not only was it great to be back racing again but this was quality stuff. In the men's race we saw some brilliant running from Paul Hartnett and Frank O'Brien who claimed individual Silver and Bronze Medals respectively. Remember that the first three do not count in the team results.

The rest of our men also had very fine runs with Tony Forrestal leading the team home followed by John Hennessy. Ger O'Regan got another PB which is some achievement on the Ballynoe course. The fourth scoring member of the team was Daniel Bloom

Declan Dorgan, Andre Brodkorb and Maurice Ring also had very fine runs. Edwin Cashman had to drop out due to injury which will heal soon hopefully.

Our ladies won GOLD Team medals.The team were led home by spectacular running from Eileen Leahy who battled up the last hill with the one and only Sonia O'Sullivan Eileen held on to win that battle. Sonia being the great athlete she is congratulated Eileen after. She was followed home by Caroline Geary and Sally Drennan.

A big thank you to Claire Fitzgerald who organised the group photo and a big thanks also to the fifteen Midleton AC ladies who ventured out in the wind and rain this evening ye did the club proud once again.
