WEST Limerick Athletic Club notes:

Cork City Sports
There was a very welcome return of the Cork City Sports Event on Tuesday night. This was held at the newly reopened MTU Track. The event attracted some of Ireland's top athletes and some international athletes also. We had three club members competing on the night , while club coach Tom Galvin was assisting with the Field events. In the open 3000m men's race Aaron Lynch finished in a time of 9:06:87 and Declan Guina finished in 9:16:51. Ide Nic Dhomhnaill ran in the women's elite 3000m race. Ide was the first Irish woman , finishing a split second ahead of Olympics bound Sophie O Sullivan. Ide's time was 9:08:65. Well done to all.
