10k: The 3rd annual 10k race took place on Sunday morning last in quite testing conditions but did not deter the participants with more than 300 hardy souls taking part; a big thank you to the organisers, all the participants and in particular to our U-14 boys who along with mentors Denis Hanafin and Kieran O’Connor ran their own 5k as part of their preparations for the season ahead.
Derek Griffin was first home in the mens in a time of 34:45 followed by Sean O’Sullivan (35:00) and Simon Mangan ( 35:42). In the ladies Deirdre Nagle was first back in a time of 39:58 with Siobhan Daly next in a time of 41:22 and Suzanne Neilan (41:36). (TraleeToday.ie will have photos from the event on Tuesday)
Seniors: Our seniors began their 2017 training last Friday night ( 27th Jan) in tough conditions in Strand Rd. Management were encouraged by the big turnout with in excess of 25 players togging out.
John O’Sullivan was on hand to put the guys through their paces and with many of them again running the 10k on Sunday there were plenty of tired bodies around Strand Rd by Sunday lunch time.
This coming Sunday (5th Feb) sees our season swing into action when we play Na Gaeil in Killeen in the Tralee town board league with throw in @ 12.30. As we will be lining out without our county panellists, this fixture will present those on the fringes of the panel with an opportunity to stake their claim for a place when the county league kicks off in late March.
Minors: We got our season off in fine style on Saturday last when beating Ballymac on a scoreline of 3-13 to 2-10 in the Tralee town league.
