Comber Cup (Saturday 14th)

This weekend saw the first race of the cross country league in Comber. A proud day for Ladies Club Captain Nuala Muldoon. The first year Mallusk has had a fullCross Country Team for the league. Well done to all those who stepped up, especially those on their debut cross country race. A very hilly and muddy course.
First to go and cut up the ground for the men was the Ladies 6k race. Captain Nuala Muldoon was first in 31.20.6, loving every minute Suzanne Brennan close behind in 32:56:6, sailing in third Jackie McCreesh 37:40:00, Yasmin Lynn with suspiciously clean legs in 41:00:1. Finally Margaret Craig and Anne-Marie Craig also getting their feet wet and muddy.
The Men’s 8k race was the last of the day and an extra lap. First for the Harriers was Mark Smith in a super fast 31:36:8, Lee O’Boyle was next in an amazing 37:31:7, followed closely by Kevin Donnelly looking like he was enjoying it far too much in 38:10:4, Neil McCready biathlon man cycled to Comber in an hour ran the course in 41:03:5 and then cycled home, Terry McIvor powered through despite a swollen foot in 45:36:5.
Special thanks to Ian Simpson Facilities Manager and Photographer, McIvor and Lynn Catering, Mark Smith’s Creche, Ian Brennan Head Cheerleader, and of course the brains of the entire operation Nuala Muldoon.
The next xc race will be Kilbroney on Saturday 28th October. The XC league is a team sport where points are awarded for performance and participation. Join us!

Till the next run.
