S.B.R. A.C.

It was great to see so many from the Sliabh Buidhe Rovers out racing and training last weekend.

With the Dublin Marathon and Wexford Novice and Senior cross-country fast approaching, it’s a busy time for the club. On Sunday in Dublin, S.B.R. had twelve runners taking part in the Rock and Roll half-marathon, and two in the 10k.

Leading home S.B.R. were Brian Kearney in 1:30:08 and Christine Hill in a big P.B. of 1:50:12.

Eugene Doherty ran a stormer in 1:30:29 which when official results are posted may be another age division win for him. With full results not out yet, please let us know anyone we missed.
