A dozen Striders travelled to Enniscorthy today to support Slaney Olympic’s annual 10K. The strong winds courtesy of Storm Dennis made for tough conditions, but that didn’t prevent some fine performances throughout the field from our athletes. First Strider home was Paul Doran who battled hard to finish 3rd in 34:29. Brendan Lyng finished 5th, 25 seconds behind Paul. Nicola Murphy was 7th woman in a very competitive field in just over 43 minutes. David Kehoe had another successful day, winning the Over 50 category.
