The Manor 5k road race has once again been a great success, with athletes from as far away as Belfast, and Nenagh competing over the traditional route around the historic landmarks in Raymoughey.
The race was won by David McMenamin of Inishowen AC in a time of 16:08. The first lady home was Linda McGrath of Lifford Strabane AC. The Dermot McElhinney City of Derry Sparta was the first over 40 with the ever-improving Barry Mackey of Letterkenny AC claiming the first place in the over 50. In the ladies over 40 section local Lady Angela Doran finished first and Marjan Bangert of Raphoe Running Club was the winner of the over 50 section.
But the outstanding performance of the night has to go to Finlay Marshall of the Rosses AC in the Junior section. The transition year student is competing in his first year of athletics and was in contention all the way to finish third overall and claim the junior section.
His time on the night was 16:27; considering the warm conditions and the climb over the second half of the course, this was exceptional. The Rosses area has always managed to produce talented sports people over the generations and it looks like the Rosses Athletic club has just discovered another one for the future in Finlay Marshall.
On the local scene, the first Langan Harps player was Oisin Toye and the first Lagan Harps Lady was Kelsey Coll.
First local is always a big honour with Gary Neely of the Swanlings taking the title for 2017, much to the delight of his coach and founding member Shaun (Swan) O Donnell. Shaun said (after finishing a queen cake and a cup of tea) it’s great to see the next generation of athletes taking over the mantle from him and Ernie. Shaun finished in a very credible 25 minutes. There is still life left in the legs yet Shaun.
