Carra, Kinvara updated
Carra 8k Men Winners: l-r: Matthew Gill 3rd, John Byrne 1st, Ann Corbett presented prizes, Noel Gibbons 2nd
We had twenty-five plus members in action on Saturday. Well done to all – we’re sure to see most of them on the start line for our Mayo AC Baxter Streets of Castlebar 5k next Sunday or helping our organisers out on the course and at St Gerald’s Hall race HQ. As results appeared online we’ve updated our finishers achievements from Kinvara. It’s great to see winners John Byrne and Anne Heaney setting the standard at Carnacon, and equally a whole group of members getting the season going at Kinvara, testing out the results of training with Matt or the hard kilometres on the roads.
Well done to newcomer Brendan Murphy on an excellent club debut, and Bernie Heneghan who clocked in a creditable half in Kinvara. Fair play to Mick Shaw, John McNamee, John Nyland who came home with PBs and a big confidence boost for the weeks ahead.
