Weekend Report
Date: 21/2/10
Togher athletes had another busy weekend competing at the National Intermediate Cross-Country championships in Roscommon, the MAAC Indoor T&F championships in New York and a Mile challenge at Cork IT track.
At Lough Key Forest park in Boyle Co. Roscommon our intermediate mens team performed very well having only four starters due to injuries of other team members. The course was mainly flat with good running and was held over 8km instead of 10km. Eoin O Sullivan led the team home with a superb run in 18th place and other great runs came from Donal Coakley 33rd, Pa Murphy 53rd and Tony Kelleher 71st.
