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.
