Curley’s fine form continues with Limerick win

PAULINE CURLEY, after dominating the road racing in Leinster throughout the summer months, turned to Munster yesterday to add the Irish Examiner Limerick Women’s mini-marathon to her collection of titles.

The Tullamore housewife, winner of this year’s Adidas series which incorporated a 5-mile, 10-mile and half-marathon, led from the gun to take the title for the first time but insisted afterwards it was not easy.

“The wind made it difficult and the course was not easy at all,” she said. “Being out in front I got no cover from the wind and it seemed as if it was in my face all the way.”
