10k wins for Colleran and Shannon

The first Kilmurry-Sixmilebridge 10k road race and 5k fun walk was held in very hot conditions.

Over the first kilometre, two athletes made an early break, Michael Shannon (Kilnaboy) and Julio Cesar F Castro (Kilmurry Ibrickane/North Clare) and they started to open up a good lead on Eoin Durkin (Donore Harriers) as they went through the 2k mark in 6.12.

Donnacha O’Mahoney (East Cork) had moved into fourth place as the leaders were going through the 3k in 9.24. Veronica Colleran (Ennis Track) was in the top six alongside Richie O’Donnell (BMOH) and Ray Scanlon (Ennis Track).

Shannon and Castro were running shoulder to shoulder at the 5k mark when the time was 16.02. They were still together at the 7k mark.

Going towards the 8k, Michael Shannon began to stamp his authority on the race and the Kilnaboy man produced a very good final two kilometres to come home a comfortable winner in 32.32. Castro took second in 33.09 with Eoin Durkin running very well to hold onto third in 36.37 from the fast-finishing Donnacha O’Mahoney (East Cork, 36.51).

In the ladies’ race, Veronica Colleran set the early pace, running in the top six with the men and going through the first kilometre in 3.54 with Breda Lynch (Dooneen AC) just a few metres adrift along with Tracy Guilfoyle (Kilnaboy) and Eimear Power (Sportsworld).

Colleran went through the half-way point in 19.30 and she crossed the finish line in fifth place overall with a time of 38.48, with a very big race from Tracy Guilfoyle to finish seventh overall in 40.00.
Breda Lynch was third in the ladies’ race in 40.23 followed by Eimear Power in 40.58 .
