Richie conquers Hell, hill running round-up
Richie Healy beat off 1200 other rough-running enthusiasts to take victory on the 10k “Hell and Back” race course in Kilruddery Estate yesterday. Kevin English, Donore Harriers, looked set to win by Richie stayed strong throughout on a course that counted innumerable obstacles and took full advantage of his strong finish.

Crusaders in action at Raheny 5 mile
We had another good year of representation at the Raheny 5 mile race yesterday. As usual a large and very competitive field turned out on a day that saw a lot of racing around the country with the Dungarvan 10 mile also a big pull for masses further south. Ciaran Devaney let home the Cru in a good sub-30 time of 28:30. Philip Matthews was next in 30:18. There seemed to be a good share of PBs as well with at least bests confirmed for James Cottle and Deirdre Ni Chearbhaill.
