Tipperary's Eugene O’Keeffe wins Munster Over 50 Road Championship title
Competition was very keen in wet conditions
Tipperary athletes made the long trip down to Castleisland to compete in the Munster Road Championships a successful one.
The men’s four mile took place over a relatively flat route, with the finish on An Riocht AC track.
