Another victory for Ciobanu

Athletics.

Organised by the local club and sponsored by Right Price Tiles, over 320 runners took to the flat and fast course in cold but sunny conditions.

Ciobanu, running for Clonliffe Harriers, finished 19 seconds clear of Letterkenny’s Ciaran Doherty, the M35 world masters indoor 3000m champion in 2012, the year he also won the Irish cross-country title in the same age-group. Third in 15:38 was Ciaran Lane with Elton Heffernan of the promoting Togher club, having a fine run to take fourth in 15:45.
