FETHARD TOWN PARKRUN

This is a weekly parkrun held every Saturday morning in Fethard. Last Saturday was a very wet morning but they had their largest attendance of 140 runners taking part. Lidl, the sponsors, were at the finish line with t-shirts and refreshments.

IMRA MUNSTER LEAGUE

This event took place at Raheen Woods in county Cork on Sunday last.

This was the fifth race in the Winter/ Spring Trail League.

In the long course of 9.2k we had three senior athletes taking part - Barry Hartnett (who finished second overall male), Michael Moore and Jim Halley.

In the short course of 3k we had two juvenile athletes competing. Bella Curling was first Junior girl and Isobelle Hartnett was second. A super strong race was run by the girls, front running the whole way to battle it out over the last 800 metres.

Bella showed great strength on the tough uphill finish to take her first gold at an IMRA event.
