Tonight`s Clonliffe Grand Prix Series 1500 round incorporated the club 1500m championships. Once again a great turn out of athletes requiring some half a dozen races spread over an hour. The final race of the night was for the faster athletes and was essentially the club championship race. This race included a number of the club`s U/17 athletes who quickly took control of the race with young Joseph Hession biding him time until 400 to go and coming home a clear winner of the championship and the Simon Byrne Memorial Cup, kindly presented by Simon`s father Clonliffe Harrier Pat Byrne. The women`s club champion for 2014 was another of the club`s bright young prospects Laura Tuite who enjoyed a successful battle with another up and coming athlete Alannah Cooley, these two separated by a second or so and placing one two.
In the Grand Prix Series 1st Sinead Duffy, 2nd Bernadette Kiernan, 3rd Desie Shortan. Fastest 4.32 Dermott Kelly. Next round of Grand Prix is 31st July 5000, Morton Stadium.
