Results Round-Up Apr 18-25 (ongoing)

A thrilling final leg saw Rathfarnham WSAF snatch the men’s title from defending champions Raheny Shamrock at the Woodie’s DIY All Ireland Road Relays  in Raheny.  Simon Ryan for Raheny and Sean Hehir for Rathfarnham had set out on the final two-mile leg together and they stayed together until the final lung-bursting sprint for the finish, with Hehir – only back from injury – just getting there first. Olympian Thomas Chamney had given Crusaders the early lead, but strong second legs by Raheny’s Feidhlim Kelly and by the veteran Paul Fleming for Rathfarnham set the tone for the rest of the race, with Barry Minnock  for Rathfarnham and Rahey’s Kevin Moriarty running shoulder-to-shoulder for the three-mile leg. 
Finishing third was a strong squad from Ennis Track Club; Tallaght was fourth.  Other clubs represented included  Sli Cualann and Craughwell (with veteran Gerry Ryan on the three-mile leg).
