AAI Road Relays 2018 (22nd April)

Strong showing by Mullingar senior men in AAI Road Relays

In what many commentators deemed was the most competitive event for many years, Mullingar fielded a senior men’s team in the AAI Road Relays on Sunday 22nd April in Raheny, Dublin. Despite their relative youth, the Mullingar team of Andy Nevin, Stephen Campbell, Padraig Moran and Michael Moran gave an excellent account and finished well up in the team placings against some really top class senior opposition. Andy Nevin ran a good opening two mile leg (10:39) and handed over to Stephen Campbell who also ran well on the tough one mile leg (5:06) to hand over to Padraig Moran for the longest leg, the three miles. Running an excellent 15:07, one of the quickest times of the day, Padraig pulled back several places, and handed over to Michael Moran for the final two mile leg, which he completed in 10:31 to bring the team home in a very creditable 12th place. This was a very good performance by a young team and one to build on in for the future.
