Ballynonty 10Mile Road Race: Nora Flynn & Mary O Connell were well placed in the Ballynonty 10 mile road race in Tipperary last week with Nora picking up one of the category prizes.
The 2017 Summer One-Mile road race series came to a successful conclusion with the 5th and final race in Gneeveguilla on Friday the 4th of August.
The average number of finishers per race this year was just over 63, almost the same as 2016. If it wasn’t for the wet and miserable conditions for the Knocknagree race, it would almost certainly have been higher this year.
The results for all the races can be found here… https://gneeveguilla.wordpress.com/summer-mile-series/

Summer 1 mile Series: As the rain came down, driven by a strong breeze, athletes were wondering if round 3 of our summer mile series would go ahead on Friday evening last in Knocknagree, held it was and it proved to be a great contest.

Next Friday evening we go to Ballydesmond for the 4th leg, with registration in Bob’s Bar.
