Cillian O’Leary of Raheny Shamrock has won the Cork City Marathon in 2:30.41. O’Leary, who comes from Cork, finished exactly a minute ahead of Vincent Chepyegon. Chepyegon had built a sizeable lead at the 19 mile mark but started to fade and was caught by O’Leary with 800m to go. Third in 2:32.29 was Brian Hegarty. Although he had run the Derry Marathon a day earlier, Lezan Kimutai – a previous winner in Dublin – was among the leaders early on but dropped out in the terrible conditions.
Nollaig Hunter of Leevale was first woman in 2:57.57. Leevale Lads won the relay in 2:22.02.
In the half marathon Clonliffe’s Sergiu Ciobanu led them home in 67 mins 50 secs, with Bantry’s Alan O’Shea a close second. Norah Newcombe Pieterse of Mayo AC was first woman in 81.12.
CIARA LAVIN of UCD won the 100m hurdles at the Leinster championships in a new record time of 14.01. Also in record breaking form was Steph Creaner of DCH with a time of 23.86 in the 200m, and Sarah McCarthy of Mid-Sutton with 6.16m in the long jump. Winning the men’s 100m in an impressive time of 10.81 secs was Stephen Gaffney of Rathfarnwham, who also won the 200m in 21.55 secs, which was a new record. Winning the 5000m was Rathfarnham’s Sean Hehir in 15:03.09. A number of masters records were also set (see below).
