Youghal AC Ladies win Senior & Novice Gold Team at County Road Championship, Ballintotis 4 mile
The dust has settled on the latest running of the Ballintotis 4-mile road race, which once again doubled up as the Cork County Road Championship. As always, there was a big turnout for the race with 1200 runners crossing the finish line.
Ballintotis is always a very popular race for Youghal AC members, and we arrived in our droves to support the race, on a glorious Wednesday evening. 53 fully fledged Youghal AC members, plus 21 of our couch to 4-mile group travelled to Ballintotis on the night. It was definitely a family affair too, with the mother daughter duo Geraldine & Trisha Curtin, sisters Avril & Alex Cashman, Marie & Eleanor Trihy, Christine Hennessy & Julie Rock making the short journey. The Kilgannon’s David, Claire & Sorcha, Hannigan’s Alan, Emer & Faye, Sheehan’s Anthony, Conor & Laura and Kelly’s Ted, Zara & Meg all enjoying some quality family time at the races.
Huge congratulations to our ladies, who celebrated massive success with Avril Cashman, Alex Cashman, Trisha Curtin and club Chairperson Deirdre Ansbro securing Senior and Novice Gold Team prizes for their efforts. Alex Cashman won the FJ category coming sixth female overall, and sister Avril was fifth female overall. Mary O Mahony was 2nd in her category, and one for the men, Keith Kelly came home second M45.
Huge shout out to our couch to four-mile group, who under the guidance of Ricky Ryan, Ted Kelly, Zara Kelly, Susan Dineen and Susan O Sullivan, completed a 10-week training plan and conquered the four miles last night. Congratulations to you all, we can’t wait to see what you do next. We are all very proud of you.
