Congratulations to Clonmel's William Maunsell, who won the Cork City Half Marathon in dominant fashion on Sunday morning in beautiful conditions.
William made his move at the 12-mile marker, injecting a level of pace that his close rival Peter Somba could not live with, as he pulled clear to win by a minute in 1:08:13.
This caps a great two months for William after his 15th placing at the London Marathon in April, which he ran in a time of 2 hours 16 minutes.
In the full Cork City marathon another Clonmel athlete, David Mansfield, produced a great performance to finish runner-up.
He ran stride for stride with Polish athlete Pawel Kosek until the 40k marker, when Kosek proved that little bit too strong for David and pulled away to win in 2:23:54, to David's 2:24:33.
While disappointed not to have secured the win, it was another good run by David, following up on his time of 2:19:33 at the London Marathon.
Both athletes are wished the best of luck as they prepare for a tilt at winning the Dublin Marathon in October, as it takes great dedication, logical training methods, hard work and discipline to train at their level.
