LISMORE GOLF CLUB

Extraordinary is a word that best describes this week’s scoring. The soft underfoot conditions certainly suited our winner Michael Burke (16) who had a brilliant round of 33 points.

Second was our 2010 captain Declan Glavin with another great score of 31 points, a bogey on the 11th the only blemish on his card.

- Cahir’s Colaiste are Munster champions -

Colaiste Dun Iascaigh, Cahir added to an impressive array of titles by winning the Munster Junior A ladies football title for the first time on Saturday last. They emerged victorious by a 3 point margin in Watergrasshill against a very strong and spirited Loreto, Fermoy team, many of whom will also feature in the Munster Senior A final next week.

BUSINESS HOUSES ATHLETICS ASSOCIATION OF CORK

- A good start to the racing calendar -

FMC 4 MILE ROAD RACE, LITTLE ISLAND

The first BHAA race of the year, under BHAA rules, took place at Little Island on Sunday, 22nd January last. Hosted by FMC, this race is run over a somewhat unspectacular course, starting at the GAA club and winding around an industrial estate, and back along the main road, with just a few inclines.

It was certainly a good start for the BHAA calendar, with a record number of 503 athletes signing on for the race, an increase of 70 over last year’s entry.

However, as many of these runners were unregistered, there was a hold up in starting the race, which only got underway at 11.30 instead of 11.

Weather wise, it was changeable, but no rain during the race. The winner of the men’s race on the day .... .
