McKiernan and Ryan ready to renew rivalry in Rás na hÉireann

CATHERINA McKIERNAN and Rosemary Ryan are set to renew rivalry at Dundalk Racecourse tomorrow when they line up for Rás na hÉireann.

While Charlie Breagy and Larry McGuill have put a world class field of athletes together for the men’s race in the plush surroundings of the newly refurbished Dundalk Racecourse, the attention will be focused on the four time world silver medallist who turned in a stunning performance in Roscommon last week to reclaim the national inter-club title after an 11 year absence by the proverbial mile.

Rosemary Ryan (Bilboa), who won the inter-counties title last November, finished third in that race but there will not be such a margin between them tomorrow.
