Luckily the SOUTH O’HANLON 4 mile had none of the down pours and floods of Saturday, the race conditions were perfect with new roads and the last 100m on the track. With the race just a day before the Streets of Galway there was no men’s team but the girls made up for it with individual prizes and a team first. Sean our only junior finished well in 3rd place.

Michael Cunningham 22.09
Sean Wall 22.45 Junior 3rd place
Lucy D’Arcy 23.43 1st place
Rachel Morgan 24.29 Masters 1st place
Mary Finn 25.03 3rd place

Unfortunately due to injury and other commitments we only had 2 members of the Sportsworld Club attending Nationals this Year. Both Packie Enright ( otherwise Known as Packie MacIonnrachtaigh ) and Aoife Brady ran the 800 metres. Packie unfortunately missed out on making the Final but had a great time in heats of 2.08.41. Aoife ran in the Final on Sunday and finished in 4th place in the time of 2.16.57. Aoife had a great run and considering that she was injured all winter and is still coming into her own.
Well done to both of you.
