Wild winds couldn’t deter Clonliffe Harriers men and DSD women from retaining their GloHealth National League titles in Tullamore while Laura Graham (Mourne Runners) and Brian MacMahon (Clonliffe Harriers) were the winners of the national half marathon in the Phoenix Park today (August 7th).

400m star Brian Gregan was to the fore for Clonliffe Harriers winning the 200m in 21.37 seconds and 400m in 47.83 along with anchoring the 4x400m team to second. Clonliffe tallied 120 points with Crusaders second on 110.5 points and Galway City Harriers third on 96 points.

DSD romped to the premier women’s crown once more with Sinead Denny winning the 400m in 54.57 seconds and anchoring the 4x400m relay team to victory. DSD winning total was 101 points ahead of St Abban’s on 94 points and Kildare Athletics on 90 points.
