A small but quality field took part in our Annual Club 5k H/cap in Shanganagh on Sunday 15th Dec. The weather was dry, mild but very windy, not ideal Pb conditions. Our first race was a 3k for juveniles, great times from those who took part, as can be seen from the list below. Our 2nd race was the 5k H/cap. We had some excellent performances from our athletes, with Diana Doll first home in a race time of 21.59, a new Pb by 1min 39sec. This is a continuation of the remarkable improvement Diana has shown this year, with new Pbs in almost every race she runs. Jason O'Connor finished 2nd, also a new Pb, in 21.39. Dominic Horan ran an excellent 17.49 to finish 3rd, Dominic was last athlete off and was not far away from catching the whole field. Our thanks to those who took part and to those who came along to help out.
