The weather did not oblige, but there was a big turnout of over 110 particpants in the first ever Dooneen AC 4 mile road race, organised in conjunction with the Limerick City Sports Partnership - Fit4Life series. Well done to Tracey Roche, Rosemary Ryan and the Limerick City Sports Partnership team who did a great job organising the event. Surely this will now become a permanent fixture on the local athletics calender with considerable growth potential. Detailed results are not yet to hand, but West Limerick AC, who supported the race in force took the main honours winning the senior mens and ladies events.
The experienced Dermot Kearns was the first man home, while Liz Hussey winner of the first Great Limerick run earlier this year was the first lady home. Dooneen athletes were not completely out done with Cathal O'Connor making a surprise reappearance, coming home in second place overall and the first junior. Fellow junior, the improving Shane Lynch was home in eigth position and following his fine results in the first two races in Southill and in the Country Club he is the overall junior mens winner. Paul Whelan was first man home for the Dooneen A.C. Fit4Life squad and Catherine Redmond was first Dooneen A.C. Fit4Life lady home.
Some photos of the event have been posted on the Limerick Sports Partnership Facebook site.
