BHAA Defence Forces 5Km

Sunday morning saw the BHAA Defense Forces 5Km run in a new venue for it. Tramore Valley was a big change from the usual Ringaskiddy course. There was almost two hundred runners there and our runners did very well as always.

 Breda Sheedy 2nd O/50, Donie O'Connell 1st O/70 and Ian Kohler 1st O/75 whilst Kathleen O'Connell, Leonard Healy and David Curtin all had fine runs.
