Sonia said can I get my photo taken with the Midleton AC crew ?

Sunday morning saw the Sonia O'Sullivan Cobh 10 Mile take place in nice dry conditions but it got hotter as the race progressed There were seven hundred and fifty five finishers and we had a fine crew out and all did well. It makes life much easier to see only athletic Ireland clubs listed in the results. Our first man home was Kevin Smith 67.40 followed by Marc Dalton 69.12, Tony Murray 71.56, Mark Walsh 73.38, Don McDonald 77.37, Siobhan Murphy 84.54 was our first lady, Christine Murphy 85.30, Loveness Hegarty 86.53, Bernie Twomey 88.16, Amanda Cooney 104.04.
