The last race of the Summer League was held on Friday night in Clonhaston and was a 2 mile road race.  Race Director was Mag Dunphy and with the race clock still out of action, runners were asked to record their own times.  As this was the last race in the league, all 8 members were able to score.  Afterwards, everyone gathered for the end of season party and prize giving in Treacy’s Hotel.

The winning team with a grand score of -238 was Team Billy, which dominated the leaderboard from the first race, a new Summer League team trophy was awarded to the team and each member also received a gift voucher.  With just 20 points in the difference Team Esther came in second place on -143 just ahead of Team Noel on -123.  Team Aoife was in fourth place on +57, with Team Susan and Team Foley in 5th and 6th place.

Only two members, Dooley French and Jim Kehoe ran all league races this year and this was recognised on the night, and Jim Kehoe was also the lowest scoring member and the most valuable runner to have on your team!

Many thanks to club member Brian Maher for the making the breadboards, wooden spoons and for the medal display board.

The Slaney Olympic Summer League has drawn to a close for this year, many thanks to all the marshals, helpers and Race Directors who organised each of the races.  Also special thanks to Jessie O Connor for putting the whole league teams together and for putting up with all the abuse especially on the Sunday morning after a race!!  Until next year..
