Another fantastic night of running took place in Carrignavar on Thursday evening. Firstly we had Frank O'Brien winning the Senior Men's 600m and then he continued in great style to demolish the field in the Senior Men's 1500m. Tony Forrestal ran in this also and had a very fine run for his first ever track race. The first of many hopefully as he looked a natural out there tonight.
John Hennessy once again ran a hugely intelligent race by changing his tactics from last week and leading from the very start to clearly win the Masters Mens O/45 1500m in great style. Ger O'Regan also ran in great style in this event to once again get a new PB. Well done all on a great nights racing it was really wonderful to see the Midleton AC singlets out there doing so well.
