Results of the Munster Novice, Senior & Master 4 Mile Road Championships...Sun 3rd Apr 2016

The Munster Novice, Senior & Master 4 Mile Road Championships were held last Sunday the 3rd of April 2016 in Kilnaboy, Co. Clare. There was a modest sized turnout with 91 in the mens race and 55 in the womens.

Both Michael Harty and James McCarthy of East Cork AC took Silver and Bronze in the Senior mens race.

In the womens race, it was a case of a 4 mile time trial for Shona Heaslip as she finished almost 3 minutes ahead of the rest of the field. Marie Muphy from St.Finbarr's AC in Cork was 3rd overall and the 1st Novice.

Looking through the results, there was no one from Co.Waterford in either the mens or womens race. Last year, it was held in Killmallock, Co.Limerick and the numbers were larger...113 men and 74 women....perhaps because it was a more central location?

What's the story with Sean Hehir winning a Munster event? Thought these are open to Munster clubs only?

As he is from Co.Clare, he may be registered as a Clare athlete even though he is in a Dublin club.
