Ballyshannon 5k, 8th May 2009. Report & Results
Sligo A.C was well represented in Ballyshannon on friday night last, 8th May, for the Ballyshannon 5k (part of the Donegal 2009 Race Series). In all, 12 athletes, 6 male and 6 female made the trip. After a very blustery & unsettled day the weather seemed to ease a bit towards evening time. By the time the race began at 7.30pm the clouds had lifted altough the stiff breeze had not abated & this proved to be troublesome especially over the middle part of the fast course. However the club still managed to pick up some prizes with Tanya McHale & Mel Casserly achieving 1st place in their respective caegories whilst Ultan McNasser got third. Rory Connor also ran a fine race achieving a personal best over the distance.
SligoAC overall positions: 4th: Ultan McNasser, 16.49. 6th: Alan Kearins, 17.11. 15th: Steve Finnegan, 18.08. 17th: Mel Casserly, 18.25. 22nd: Mark Burns, 18.46. 30th: Rory Connor, 19.19. 43rd: Cindy McCarthy, 20.12. 56th: Tanya Mchale, 21.25. 60th: Rose Tully, 21.46. 81st: Laura O'Shea, 25.16. 82nd: Jill Connor, 25.29. 84th: Mary Durcan, 25.43.

May Bank Holiday Weekend Athletic Results
Carer's Association 10k
The Carer's Association 10k was held in wet and windy conditions on Monday 4th May. Mayor Cllr Veronica Cawley got the race underway shortly after 3pm from outside the Radisson Hotel and soon a breakaway group of John Byrne (Mayo A.C), Richard Gorman, Neil Walton and Ultan McNasser (all Sligo A.C) moved ahead of the remaining runners. A stiff headwind on the outward section towards Rosses Point made running conditions slightly more difficult but this was redressed by the favourable tailwind on the return leg. At the 5k mark, John Byrne Moved ahead of his pursuers and kept this position to win the race with a comfortbale margin. Richard Gorman took second place whilst Neil Walton claimed third.

Carer's Association 10k Road Race, May 4th 2009
The Carers Association 10k will take place on Monday 4th may 2009 @ 3pm. The Race starts at the Radisson Hotel, Ballincar approx one and half miles from Sligo Town on the Rosses Point Road. Unlike last year which saw the race start at the Radisson but finish at the Village Inn, Cartron it seems that this year the race will continue further into Rosses Point Village to allow the finish line to be located at the Radisson aswell. The course in general is very level which should allow for fast times for all participants. Good luck to all who enter & we'll endeavour to have news & results posted on this site as soon as possible afterwards. For further information please email terry hayes at slyouthfootball@eircom.net
