Jack Cox 5k in sunny Kilcormack
The annual Jack Cox 5K road race once again attracted a quality field to Kilcormac. The race was run off in sunny and warm conditions. Noel Kelly was always up with the leaders but in the end had to settle for second place behind Colm Burke of St Abbans who was winning this race for a remarkable eight years in a row. Mick Murphy ran another great race to finish in 5th place. Pauline Curley was the first lady home ahead of team mates Liz Cuskelly and Maire Triona Keane.

Mary Daly was the winner of the Master Ladies in a personal best time of 19.47 with Martina Conlon taking second place. Martin Carroll clocked 17.09 and this gave him 3rd place in the very competitive Mens O50. Jane Conlon was the first Junior lady.
