Munster
Intermediate Cross Country Championships
The Munster
intermediate
cross country championships were held yesterday in Dungarvan. Conditions were very good.
James McCarthy of East Cork set the pace
early in the event with Simon Doherty of Togher running on his shoulder. McCarthy pulled ahead during the third lap,
opening up a gap on Doherty, which was never closed and enjoyed a
comfortable
victory. Doherty stitched towards the
end of the race and fell back a few places. At this stage it looked
certain
Riocht would take the team title but Doherty recovered and came through
strongly to finish second. Elton
Heffernan continued his impressive form coming home next for Togher
followed by
the 2005 County intermediate champion Eoin O’Sullivan and Steven
Macklin in
12th. Despite the gallant effort of the
Togher team they narrowly missed out on winning the team title losing
out on
count back after finishing with the same number of points as Riocht. The county team fared better securing gold
in impressive style, team: James McCarthy (East Cork), Simon Doherty,
Elton
Heffernan, Eoin O’Sullivan, Steven Macklin (Togher) and Tony Kelleher
(Eagle).
The intermediate
womens team
failed to impact on the medals but there were impressive runs by Maire
Heffernan (Liscarroll), Sharon McGarry (St Finbarrs) and Niamh Roe
(Eagle).
In the juvenile
uneven age
cross country championships there were some very good performances by
Cork
athletes. Nearly all County teams
finished in the medals while a number of clubs picked up team prizes.

Cork
City Marathon Returns!
Bank
Holiday Monday, 4th June 2007, will see Cork City host its
first Marathon since 1986.
The race will
incorporate a
wheelchair category and a Team Relay Event, in which teams of between
two and
four runners will compete in the 26-mile, 385-yard (42.195km) course.
The race
will set off from the South Mall at 9.00am, covering a single circuit
of the
city’s suburbs through Blackpool, Sunday’s Well, the Carrigrohane Road,
the
Lough, Skehard Road, Mahon, the Marina, South Main Street and
Washington
Street, to finish on the South Mall.
The Event
Manager, Gina
Johnson, said “This will be an exciting sporting event for athletes. We
want to
see everyone in the city and suburbs on the streets to support the
runners.”
The event
organisers include
Cork City Council, the Cork Chamber of Commerce, the Cork Business
Houses
Athletic Association (BHAA), the Athletics Association of Ireland
(AAI), the
Gardaí, the Health Service Executive, Bus Éireann, the Hotels
Federation,
LeisureWorld Cork, the City of Cork Vocational Educational Committee

Good Girl Derval!
World Indoor Hurdles Champion Cork’s
Derval O’Rourke
delivered Ireland’s first medal at the European T&F championships
in Sweden
this evening. Her path to the final was
on the back of solid rather than spectacular performances and starting
in Lane
1 in the final, it may have seemed a medal was not a real prospect. Lane 1 made no difference to Derval in the
final though as she got off to an awesome start leading over the first
few
hurdles. As the others closed in we
wondered would she drift back like she did in the semi-final but this
was not
the semi final and she just kept going with only the eventual winner
the Swede
Susanna Kallur able to pass her. As she
ducked crossing the line there was no doubt that she won a medal but
what
colour? After a few anxious moments and a protest her silver medal was
confirmed. Her time was 12.72 – a new
personal best and a new national record.
Wind +0.5m/s.
Well done Derval, we are all very proud
of you in
Cork. Well done also to her club,
coaches and team mates who helped get this far!

&
Junior Cross Country Championships
The Munster Senior & Junior
Cross Country Championships were held today in Beaufort, Co. Kerry, a
village
famous for it’s scenery which unfortunately due to bad weather today
could not
be seen. The course was flat which
should have meant a fast course but unfortunately due to heavy rain
underfoot
conditions were very poor and it was hard work all the way around the
course.
The first race of the day was the
junior mens race. Kevin O’Brien of
Glenbower had another impressive run closing in on the winner as he
crossed the
line in second place leading his club to bronze. The
junior womens was won by Joyce Curtin of Glenbower in what
was one of her best performances of recent times. She
characteristically took
an early lead and stretched it out as the race progressed.
Michelle Finn of Duhallow also ran well
taking bronze leading her club to the bronze position.
The County team took silver in this race.
The senior men’s race was
completely dominated by Cork athletes.
Brian McMahon of Carraig na bhFear went into an early lead after
the
first lap. Close behind the 2004 County
senior cross country champion were Michael O’Herlihy of North Cork,
Alan O’Shea
of Bantry and Sean McGrath and Fergus Meade of East Cork.
With each lap McMahon further consolidated
his lead and crossed the line almost a minute clear of the second
placed
athlete to take his first Munster Senior Cross Country title. O’Herlihy took silver and O’Shea
Bronze. Meade and McGrath of East Cork
were 4th and 5th. East Cork claimed
another Munster Senior title while Leevale were third.
Cork won the inter county competition.
Reigning County senior cross
country champion Louise Cavanagh of UCC led for most of the senior
womens race
and had a sizeable lead over Kerry athlete and club mate Freda Davoren
going
into the last lap. Davoren closed that
gap considerable and was involved in an exciting finish.
Cavanagh held out to take gold with Davoren
second. UCC won the team competition
ahead of Leevale who were led home by Carmel Parnell in 4th place.
