County Novice Road Championships
The Tipperary County Novice Road Championships took place at Moyne on Sunday last.
The race went ahead in very windy and wet weather, so windy that the rain met the ground horizontal, with a strong head wind for a mile between the 3k and 5k markers of the course, providing an extra challenge for all runners.
Our club had five athletes competing the men’s 6k. Our first home was Aaron O’Donnell in second place and winning silver. Dermot Gorman was in third place winning bronze, both followed with fine running by Patrick Roche in 7th place, Keith Fraher in 14th place and Eugene O’Keeffe in 16th place.
Our first four places gave Carrick-on-Suir AC a total of 26 points and winning the Danny Butler Perpetual Memorial Cup with 26 points to spare.

We would like to say a big thank you to Santa and our friends of Carrick Road Runners. Without you none of it would happen.
