Tuam - The Place To Be...

Next Sunday will see the resumption of serious cross-country action in County Galway with the Galway Senior, Intermediate, Novice and Veterans Championships all up for decision as well as a range of competitive juvenile races. The Galway County Board have agreed to revamp the County senior championships this year and consequently all of the adult championships will be decided within a single race. This change has been made to ensure a larger, more competitive, more enjoyable race for all concerned.

Galway Bay ‘10’ Action

On a day of high winds and good spirits nearly 1,000 runners took part in the Galway Bay ‘10’ in Galway last Saturday. Sponsored by Galway Bay FM this race is a fundraiser in aid of Cancer Care West. A number of Athenry runners took part in this year’s event and they were well to the fore. Sligo AC’s Gary Higgins took the overall honours and Robert Malseed of Clonliffe Harriers followed him home in second place. Third over the finish line was our own Brian O’Connor and the fourth placed finisher was Peter Delmer also wearing the maroon and white of Athenry. Full results are not yet posted for this race but rumor also reaches us of a fine run by our very own running Rugby player, Owen Curran. More when we have it.

Athenry athletes were in action in Longford and in Cork at the weekend and with considerable success. Gary Doherty continued his nomadic ways while taking part in the ever popular Cork To Cobh 15 Mile road race, organised by the Cork BHAA. Gary had to be on the road early from Galway to make the race start and ran conservatively to the halfway point, which he passed in 52:10. From that point on caution was thrown out the window and he proceeded to leave a scorched trail over the remaining seven and a half miles of the route, finishing in 1:41:41, a negative split on the day of two minutes and thirty-nine seconds. Congratulations to Gary on a fine performance.
