The bank holiday weekend was a busy one on the roads, and the big event in Cork was the Lee Fields 4 miler on Sunday morning, where James Grufferty finished a good 2nd to James McCarthy in 21:01. Luke Horgan was also well up the field, 4th in 21:28
John O’Connell and Conor MacCauley both travelled to compete in the Frankfurt Marathon, both first-timers at the event. Just a few places separated them in the end as they both clocked times around the 2:36 mark.
