Twelve of our Senior Ladies travelled to Dundrum on Sunday last to compete at the Senior Road Relay Championships. Our first team comprising of Orla Healy, Bridget Gleeson, Sarah Healy and Edel Leahy claimed bronze medals in the ‘A’ section of the event,  Orla ran the opening leg of 800m handing over to Bridget who covered the 1500m leg, Sarah Healy ran the next 800m leg and handed over to Edel for the final 3000m, the girls were leading the race going into the final leg but where than overtaken by a very strong Clonmel side to leave Moyne in 2nd place. Coming into the final 1000m Thurles pushed into 2nd place but the Moyne girls held on to take a well deserved 3rd place. Our second team of Lisa Quinlan, Aishling Maher, Cora Doyle and Catherine Guider finished 2nd overall in the ‘B’ section and our third team of Niamh Doyle, Breda McNamara, Liz Power and Catherine Dunne were 3rd in the ‘B’ section – it was wonderful to see such a large representation of Senior Athletes from our Club and great credit must be given to John Flynn who trains the Ladies twice weekly and gives them such encouragement- well done to all involved.
