Another successful day for the club at today’s Dublin 10k Road Championships in Garristown, North County Dublin, held over a very hilly course and in gale like conditions. Ian Guiden, back home now from Canada, made a winning return taking the race by the scruff of the neck from the gun winning in a time of 31.51, a winning margin by almost 2 and half minutes. The Clonliffe women’s W 35 team took Dublin team gold with the winning margin was some 10 minutes, the team of Siobhan Devaney (44.50), Mary Ketterer (45.31), Elaine McLaughlin (45.41) and Eimear Griffin (47.37).
