Power returns to Killarney

Seamus Power is set to make a winning return when he defends his title in the Killarney 5k road race this evening.

The Clare man, the dominant force in Irish cross-country running for the last decade, has not run since winning the national inter-club title in Roscommon in February.

“I am ready to race again,” he said yesterday as he recalled last year’s thriller with Noel Berkeley in Killarney.
