Dublin Novice 5k 2018 Tallaght Sunday 6th May

Highlight of the bank holiday weekend seemed to be Team Gold for Rathfarnham WSAF AC in the 2018 Dublin Novice Championships at the Tallaght 5k on Sunday 6th May by the team of Shane O’Neill, Donagh Powell, Eoin McLoughlin and Greg Byrne. Unfortunately it was later discovered that they didn’t qualify as novices! So the real highlight was in the women’s race where Ber Crowley had an excellent run to take the individual bronze medal. Shane O’Neill picked up 1st prize M45 and Vanessa the F45! Individual times were as follows: Shane O’Neill 16:06, Donagh Powell 16:38, Eoin McLoughlin 16:42, Greg Byrne 17:14, Neil Skelton 17:44, Micheál Murphy 19:13, Tom Cuddy 19:01, Ber Crowley 20:18, Vanessa Sallier 20:51, Olive Nolan 24:04, Louise Gaffney 24:18, Jackie Kingston 25:07, Louise Farragher 33:28. Well done to everybody who competed.
