Grennan in Commanding Form in Winter League

Last week saw the running of two legs of the Winter League. Three teams were picked and every runner scores points for their team. The first leg took place last Thursday night and was run over 3000 metres on the tarmac lap. There was a huge turnout of sixty four runners which included a lot of new members and this led to two separate races been run to accommodate the big field. The fastest man on the night was Catch Grennan who led from start to finish to come home a clear winner in a time of 9.35. Mick Murphy ran a great race to take second place in 9.43 ahead of the ever improving Mark Servis who clocked 9.52. The fastest woman on the night was Pauline Curley in ninth place in a time of 10.29.
