Posted on by

We would like to say a special congratulations to club athletes Catherine Clancy (2nd Female), Kathleen O’Brien (1st Female O60) and John Beecher (2nd Male) in the overall results at the end of the Streets of Fermoy road race series 2014 last night.

Kathleen has been a welcome addition to the club with some great results since joining. Catherine has been going from strength to strength with PBs and prizes in a number of races in 2014. While John has produced super times across multiple disciplines ranging from 3k, 5k, 5 & 10 miles but most notably The Cork City Marathon (30th Place – 2:56:59) and the Connemara Ultra Marathon (23rd Place – 5:13:19). Well done all.
