WEEKLY RUNAROUND


NB BHAA Race next Wednesday POSTPONED

Youghal 10Km and Half Marathon

Three 1st's For Midleton AC



On an ideal Sunday morning for running the Youghal 10Km and Half  Marathon took place. We had a good number of runners there mainly in the 10Km where the club took three category 1st Prizes. John Cashman had a great run to take a very competitive 1st O/60 and Joe Power took 1st O/65. Whilst Martha McNamara was back on the podium taking 1st O/65 Lady. We also saw some class running from Tim Hannon our first man home with a PB and showing his weekly high mileage is paying dividends. Our first lady and just outside the prizes was Brigid Ryan.

In the half Marathon  we had Don McDonald closely followed by Tony Murray and our first and only lady was Amanda Cooney.

Well done Youghal AC on the great organising of this superb event.
