MARY WINS AT LAST!



Of course, Anne Ormsby of Fingallians had to be beaten sometime and despite a heroic effort it happened at the final Winter League, held in clear, crisp conditions at St Anne's Park, Raheny.
Mary Finn of Sportsworld had made the early break at the last round in Tymon Park, but despite an injury problem, Anne came back to win.
This time, there was no catching Mary, who was part of the leading group after the first of the mile laps. With 200m to go, it was clear that victory was hers. She crossed the line in 13 mins 28 secs, with Anne just six seconds adrift for second place. Third was Kathleen O'Callaghan of Sportworld, who had missed the previous race, while fourth was Bronagh Snow of Fingallians.
A lost car key meant the overall results couldn't be complied after the race as planned, but these are now available; see below. Anne Ormsby, with three wins from four, is clearly the winning individual, while Fingallians A just pipped Sportsworld A by a single point to win the diamond class. FIngallians B won the gold section; Blackrock B were best in silver and Lucan C in bronze.
All who completed three of the four races got a handy red rain jacket (very appropriate since the majority of clubs running M&T have some class of a red singlet. Clubs who wear other colours are of course very welcome to join in!)
Big thanks to our friends in Raheny Shamrocks for hosting the race and getting the use of the Cara Hall for registration and tea. We look forward to returning here for the first round of the Summer League over two miles on Sunday April 20(tbc), when hopefully some Northside runners (apart from Fingallians) will join in. Westsiders would also be welcome!
