Oran Murphy and Aoife Joyce both represented Crusaders AC at the fourth annual Donadea 10k in Co. Kildare. It proved a great day for Aoife who secured second place in the ladies category behind Pauline Curley in a time of 40:31 (PB). Oran Murphy also ran well to finish 15th overall. Despite the trail and slight undulations, some fast times were posted (the course record was lowered to 30:57) and the race was lauded as top-notch in all departments so may be one to look out for when doing your calendar planning next year. The eight-hundred plus participants suggest this fixture will establish itself.
