Report from Clonmel AC...The Clerihan 5 mile road race took place in warm conditions last night and attracted a record entry of 276 athletes. This was a fitting tribute as this race also honoured two of Clonmel Athletic Club's finest athletes, Laura Taylor and Joe Grinsell.

The competition at the front of the field was very keen with Andrew Connick of Ferrybank going well clear as they approached the first water station. He kept that strong pace going all the way to win in a brilliant time of 25 mins 26 secs. This brilliant performance by Andrew also broke the old record of 25:59 set by Michael Harty of East Cork last year, a great performance.

There was a good ding dong battle for 2nd spot from early on between David Ryan (Clonmel) and Erin O Byrne (Waterford) with David edging it close to the line to finish 2nd in 26:52. To add to his fine performance, he was absolutely delighted to win the Joe Grinsell Perpetual Shield as the 1st County man home. For the record Erin's time was 26:55.

In the Ladies race Madeline Loughnane of Thurles Crokes ran very well to win in 30 mins 47 secs with Clare Annan of Carrick on Suir 2nd in 30 mins 59 secs and Angela McCann of Clonmel 3rd in 31:16. Madeline was also the winner of the Laura Taylor Perpetual Shield as the 1st County lady finisher.

The other category winners were Men over 40 Gerard O Loughlin Carrick on Suir 29:41, men over 45 Conor Fleming Clonmel AC 29:56, men over 50 John Walsh Clonmel AC 31:02, Men over 55 Tommy Cahill Clonmel AC 33:29, Men over 60 John Foley West Waterford 38:55.

The Ladies categories were won by Catherine Rice Clonmel AC 1st 0/35 35:32, Yvonne O Connor Clonmel Ac 1st 0/40 36:41, Martina Ryan Thurles Crokes 1st 0/45 34:24, Bernie Hopkins Clonmel AC 41:34 and Nellie Ryan Kildare 1st 0/60 71:37.

Race report from Clonmel AC...Michael Harty and Dymphna Ryan win in Clerihan
The inaugural Clerihan 5 Mile road race took place in Mediterranean conditions last Friday night attracting 252 entrants, many from the local community, which was brilliant to see. There was a brilliant atmosphere and buzz in the village for the whole event with the whole community coming out and supporting. 

The race was won by Michael Harty of East Cork AC who went into the lead right from the start and came home a very convincing winner in 25 mins 59 secs. Then we had Brian Murphy of Carrick on Suir 2nd in 26 mins 22 secs with Harry Lupton of Portlaoise 3rd in 27 mins. 

Dymphna Ryan of Dundrum won the Ladies race in 29 mins 58 secs with Angela McCann of Clonmel 2nd in 30 mins 29 secs and Orlaith Moynihan of Clonmel 3rd in 32 mins 45 secs. Dymphna was also the first recipient of the Laura Taylor Memorial Shield, presented to her by Donna Nagle, of Clonmel A C, to the first women finisher from a County Tipperary Club, in honour of Laura Taylor who died tragically last year. Dymphna was also presented with a Special framed photo of Camelot signed by Aidan and Joseph O Brien of Ballydoyle where Laura worked for many years.

This was a great community effort and the Club would like to thank everyone who helped to make this event such a success. The Post Race refreshments were greatly appreciated by everyone and the two water stations on the course were also very much appreciated by everyone.
