The Covid 19 put paid to most athletic events for the last six months. However, thanks to Co Kilkenny Athletics Board and host club, St Joseph’s AC, the county 10K road race went ahead at the Pink Rock this evening. KCH were very much to the fore with twelve athletes competing and they weren’t just out for a run. They were there to compete. And they did with the Ladies winning gold and the Men winning silver. In the Men’s race Toss Hayes was the outstanding performer completing the course in 31.42 to take individual gold. Other team members were Ken Maher 35.59, Conor Bolger 38.27, Graham Bourne 38.40, Noel Sugrue 41.50 and Pat Purcell 41.08. Grace Richardson in 41.32, winning individual bronze, led the ladies in. The other team members were Siobhan McArdle 43.22, Donna Dunne 44.05, Kate Millea 47.28, Maria Cormack 48.15 and Joya Dunne 52.55. Congratulations all for an overall great performance. Onwards and upwards.
