Race report from the organisers...
Siobhain O Doherty wins Fethard 4miler...The Fethard Road Races took place last Wednesday night, 30th May with a record entry. This year there were two events, the Open 4 mile race which attracted 142 athletes and the 2 Mile event that was aimed at the ever growing Meet and Train athletes and this attracted an entry of 18. This is a major increase on last year’s combined numbers of 80.
In the 4 mile event we had Siobhain O Doherty of Borrisokane holding off the fast finishing Shane Mullaney of Thurles Crokes to become the first women winner of this event, a brilliant achievement. Siobhain’s winning time was 21 mins 59 secs with Shane credited with the same time. There was a big cheer for Fintan Rice of the host Club, who is running very well at present, as he came through to finish 2nd in 22 mins 5 secs when 3rd overall. Paddy Cummins of Moycarkey Coolcroo who has shown very good form in recent weeks also finished strongly when 3rd Senior man in 22 mins 9 secs.

Dean Campion of Thurles was 1st Junior in 28:50. The 1st local man was Michael Moclair in 24:49. In the ladies race Dymphna Ryan of Dundrum ran very well when 2nd Senior Woman in 23:04 with Clare Annan of Carrick on Suir 3rd in 24:20. Mary Molloy of Clonmel was 1st woman over 35 in 27:40 with Martina Ryan of Thurles Crokes 1st 0/40 in 26:40, Kathleen O Meara of Thurles Crokes was 1st 0/45 in 31:42 and Eileen Skelly of Carrick on Suir was 1st 0/50 in 33:25.
