Shanagarry 5

Brilliant performances in this race left the mens team 2nd and the womens team 3rd. Performance of the week though went to Cathal O Donovan who was 4th in 27.14. A fantastic run that had him finish ahead of Cathal O Connell and John Meade who were 5th and 6th. In a performance to rival Cathal, Claire McCarthy put in a very strong run to win the ladies race in 29.59. Claire has now won both of the Ballycotton 5 series races run so far and having finished 2nd in the Cork Half Marathon is showing just the form she needs in her preparation for the Dublin Marathon. While those were the stand out performances mention should also be made of mens captain Paul Gallagher, in his first race back from a bad cycling injury, who raced well for 21st position in 29.17.
