Good win for Tipperary club in County Intermediate Road Championships

The second round of the County Tipperary Athletics Road Championship took place on Sunday in a wet Galbally.

As soon as the whistle had blown in the ladies race the heavens opened.

Despite the difficult conditions, the Moyne ladies were on top form once again. A challenging four kilometres course awaited the ladies.

Louise Fogarty led from the gun and won convincingly in a time of 14.55 with 13 seconds to spare ahead of her teammate Orla Healy, who crossed the line in second place in a time of 15.08 to add to her silver medal she won the previous weekend at the County Novice in Moyne.

Angela Fogarty finished in an excellent seventh place in a time of 16.24 to bring home the gold team prize for the ladies.

It was an excellent two weeks for the Moyne AC ladies, with a silver in the novice and a gold in the intermediate. Congratulations to the ladies on their impressive performances. 

As the rain continued to fall the men made their way to the start line. A tough eight kilometres course was in store for the men.

Dylan McLaughlin was running well in seventh place until he picked up an injury after a sharp turn at 5k. Dylan finished in 23rd position in a time of 31.44. It was a disappointing result for him but he will be back again.

Patrick Bowe finished in 28th position in a great time of 32.24.

Well done lads.
