Sharon Cantwell and Orla Healy represented the club at the Munster 4 Mile Road Championships in Quilty, Co. Clare on Sunday last. With the race incorporating the Senior, Novice, and master’s competitions in one race the thirty-five athletes toeing the line had a lot to run for. The pace at the head of the field was fast but credit to Sharon as she went with them and was rewarded for her efforts with a great sixth place in 25.34. Orla had a constant battle with athletes from Clare and Kerry in a group just off the leaders and in an extremely competitive finish with only seconds separating the athletes she crossed the line in 17th place in 27.03. When the various categories were decided this saw Sharon finish fourth in the Novice and fifth in the Senior. Just ten secs separated her from claiming the bronze in the Novice race. Orla placed 13th in the Novice and 12th in the Senior. Congratulations ladies on your terrific performances.
