2014 Athletes of the Year and Cake Races

The club Cake Races took place in Santry last night. There was a healthy turn out between the two races of circa 70 athletes on a blustery and wet night and in even healthier turn out for the annual Athletes on the year awards in the club bar after the races.

The winner of the women`s Cake Race was Geraldine Reilly with Irish Junior International Hope Saunders running the fastest around the 5k loop. In the men`s race Thomas Ward took the honours with the fastest time going to Liam Roarty, back home for Christmas from Sunderland.
