As Dublin spins towards Level 3 Sean Doran left his rivals in a spin as he was a convincing winner of tonight’s Clonliffe Harriers club 10,000 Championship in a nifty 32.19 to take the Bonass Trophy. Sinead Smith-Ahern took the Bonass Cup as the women’s champion.
Tonight’s race was the final installment of a successful club track season and was kindly sponsored by Pat Bonass. Close to 30 athletes lined up on an unseasonably humid September night under the stadium lights. Doran was quick out of the blocks and set a frantic pace as he opening a big gap on the field chased by Darren Reilly and Ernie Ramsey. There and then the race was over and it was only a question of how fast he would go. 25 laps later it was an impressive solo 32.19.
