20241006 Weekend Review
Youghal AC athletes, young and old, took to the roads (and the air) last weekend to fulfil their running schedules...
First up on Sunday morning was Maurice Walsh, who took on the Lisbon Marathon, a mere 3 days after attending a friends wedding in nearby Albufeira. No stranger to the marathon distance, Maurice crossed the finish line in a fantastic 3:25:10 in searing heat and humidity.
Next up was our 6 athletes who took the long journey to Co. Meath on Sunday morning for the Irish 3/4 marathon in Longwood - fantastic preparation for upcoming marathons in Dublin and Valencia.. Well done to Keith Kelly who finished 15th overall, and the results were as follows:
Keith Kelly 2:01:52
Deirdre Ansbro 2:31:29
Tom Leahy 2:55:15
Sean Casey 2:58:11
Brendan Coleman 3:00:33
Donal Sheehan 3:08:19
Then it was the turn of our juvenile division who took to the County Cross Country Championships in Ballynoe. Some great performances, led by Olan Rochford, who got a medal in the U12 Boys race. Well done to all who took part and represented the club
