28th February 2010- Results and Fixtures

Peter Devery Memorial Win for Eddie Garry.

The first leg of the annual P.Devery cross country challenge against Ballyfin AC took place last Sunday in the grounds of Emo House. On a cold but mostly dry morning the race was run over a distance of 4,500 metres and consisted of three laps which included one long uphill stretch. In a very competitive race, Tullamore’s Eddie Garry had a good win in a time of 15.00. Liz Cuskelly ran a very strong race to be first lady home in 13.24.

Ballyfin hold a narrow lead in the team competition and the Harriers will be expecting a big turnout of it’s members for the return leg to be held in Charleville Estate on a yet to be fixed date.
