Timmie third in Galway 5k

Timmie Glavey finished third in the first leg of the Galway 5k series at Ballybrit last evening. There was just 15 seconds separating the top four finishers. Timmie edged third in 17:09. Recent results in 10ks at  Kilmovee and Ballinrobe show he’s shaken off the injury that’s kept him from racing in the last couple of years. So maybe we’ll see him get back to the consecutive 16:47, 16: 30, 16:21 finish times he recorded in the series in 2011. No pressure. Our other finisher in Ballybrit was Cormac  Kearney 23:09 (22:19 chip) having finished 50:20 in the 10k last Sunday in Foxford. Results: www.redtagtiming.com   –  729 finishers.
