Sean Kelly (RIP)

Running conditions were excellent as somewhere in excess of eleven thousand runners set off on the twenty-six mile plus that is the Dublin City Marathon. Local interest was strong as a considerable contingent of men and women from Kilkenny endeavoured to reach various targets. Most had been training several times each week for the last six months, building up stamina and strength for the big day. Completing the course, irrespective of time taken, would be the aim of many. Athletics’ leaders with Kilkenny Fit4Life Club, Irene Henebry and Teresa Daly, had excellent times of 3.43.47 and 3.53.44 respectively. They can take pride in the performances of their five club members who also completed the run : Bregeen Murphy and Deirdre Scott, both under 3 hours 50 minutes and Jacinta Horan, Ann Brett and Marie Poyntz just outside the four hours. All these ladies, now members of Kilkenny City Harriers were joined on the run by Sinead Foley, a Harrier with marathon experience on a number of continents. Sinead’s time was 3.49.06.

Ciara Everard was honoured by the Athletic Association of Ireland (AAI) at the annual Juvenile Awards night held in The Arklow Bay Hotel on Friday last.
