Mid-week Roads: Dunleavy, Doherty win at Clonee 10km

Sligo’s Emmet Dunleavey outsprinted Peter Somba of Dunboyne AC to win the Clonee 10km last night. Third was Tomas Fitzpatrick of Tallaght, who made a comeback after a few months absence at last Sunday’s track and field league round.

First woman was Finn Valley’s Teresa Doherty, another athlete on the comeback trail after the birth of daughter Aine last year. Her time of 34 mins 25 secs proved that she is pretty much back to her best.

Winning the Jude Gallagher Round the Bridges 10-mile in Derry were Andrew Annette and Rio Olympics marathon runner Breege Connolly.
