Race winner was Ryan Creech (Leevale) in 23.53. The Clonliffe junior men filled the top 3 positions with Niall 1st, in his Clonliffe debut Mahad Mohamed was 2nd (26.44) and Cillian Keegan was 3rd (27.16). The Clonliffe women’s team finished 5th led home by Laura Tuite tantalisingly close to breaking 30 minutes – 30.05, Rachel McFadden 31.55 and Meghan O’Keeffe 32.43.

In the juvenile races there were many Clonliffe athletes competing, standout performance was a fine 2nd place with a brilliant sprint finish by Sean Henry. Very well done to all our juvenile athletes, for many it was their 1st taste of road racing.
