FULL RESULT FROM RACE1 IN LUCAN

Lorna Quinn of Sportsworld was a comfortable winner for the much-anticipated Meet & Train Summer League 2-Mile race hosted around the traffic-free paths of Griffeen Park by Lucan Harriers.
Lorna, who took a year off running to study, finished in 11 mins 56 secs and not even the fast -finishing Anne Ormsby of Fingallians could catch her.
Despite the last-minute notice of this race, large groups turned out from Sportsworld, Fingallians and Lucan, with representatives also running from Blackrock, Donore and Crusaders. Good to see a number of newcomers racing for the first time and big thanks to all who helped out. General verdict: great course, lovely cup of tea!
Next round over three miles will also take place in Lucan on Wednesday May 7, starting 8pm. Entry is Eu7 with spot prizes on the night and overall prizes for best individual and team performances after the final race.

SUMMER LEAGUE- LUCAN TO HOST FIRST TWO

Great news - Lucan is to host Sunday's first round of the Meet and Train Summer League on Sunday next April 27 (11am). Distance is two miles so not a bit stretch for anyone who has been training for the mini marathon over the past few weeks.
Lucan have also come to the rescue for the second race over three miles, which will take place on Wednesday May 7 (8.00).
The final race and prizegiving will be based in the Donore sports centre, with the race in the Phoenix Park; date Wed May 21 (7.45).
* Apologies for the delay; the calendar is hugely busy this year.
* Don't forget - Sportsworld Dublin 5 Mile on Sunday May 18 at the new time of 12 noon.

Mini Marathon Build-Up Series; 2 Miles, Sun Apr
27 (11.0) Lucan; 3 miles, Wed May 7 (8.00) Lucan; 4 miles, Wed May

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!

ANNE MAKES IT THREE

Before - and after!

Anne Ormsby may have been suffering from sore knees but she showed no signs of it when she made it three from three in the M&T Winter League at Tymon Park, Templeogue, Dublin.
On the first lap. Mary Finn of host club Sportsworld pushed on hard and had built up quite a gap on the water-logged and muddy course, which many of the women found deceptively undulating (ie, it looked flat but it wasn't really).
But Anne is a past master at coming from behind and she did it again, racing away on the second of the two laps to cross the line in 13 mins 55 secs. Exactly 27 seconds behind was Mary Finn, with her Sportsworld Crona Byrne in third and Bronagh Snow of Fingallians fourth. Coming in almost together for fifth and sixth places were Derval McCarthy of Lucan and Sportsworld's Eileen Dalton.
Well done to Paddy and his team on a great race. Now all that remains is the Raheny round of the league in St Anne's Park on Sunday 17 February - that's after next Sunday's Axa Raheny 5 (3pm), which is the first of the year's major road races, with over 2,000 expected.
Entry is Eu15 online or Eu30 on the day. Parking is available at the big church in Raheny village; even better, take the bus or DART.
Tymon Park, Dublin - 1 A Ormsby (Fingallians) 13.55; 2 M Finn (Sportsworld) 14.22; 3 C Brady (Sportsworld) 14.38; 4 B Snow (Fingallians (14.54; 5 D McCarthy (Lucan) 15.09; 6 E Dalton (Sportsworld) 15.10.
