Well done to all those who competed in these conditions and in particular Robert Corbally who ran an extremely tactical race tucking into the lead group before making a break and developing a commanding lead over the final 2km to win with ease. The DSD men’s team was comprised of Robert 1^st, Mark Conway 6^th, Colm Healy 23^rd, Dave Healy 26^th and Shane Cowzer 45^th with the Team Coming 4^th overall. A special mention must be made to congratulate Dave on his first race for DSD and for Shane who got a last minute call up to the team and raced even after completing his normal Sunday run only a few hours before. 

Even in these harsh conditions we also fielded a women’s team who came 7^th overall. The team were led to the finish with Fiona Clinton in 4^th (this is also one of Fiona’s first races for the club so there should be a lot more to come), Lesley Ann Doughan 21^st, Roisin Clarke 38^th (who are both back training hard after coming out of retirement) and Kate Prendergast 49^th. 

We had a number of other results over the last week with three of our athletes competing in a Business House race on Saturday in Swords. Jonathan Hartnett 2^nd in the senior men, Sheelagh Jones 6^th and Mary Jennings7^th in the senior women.
