After a frustrating period of injury Cathal Doyle was back racing for the 1st time this season on Friday night, May 5th, at the Oregon twilight meet. An impressive opening seasons 1500 it proved to be as Cathal finished 2nd in a fast 3.39.96.
On Wednesday night Ben Coughlan finished 2nd in a tactical 5 K Road race in Tipperary in a time of 15.35.
