Linda Conroy makes a winning return to racing

After a number of years away from the racing scene, Linda Conroy made a winning return at the Castletown-Geoghegan 5k on Sunday morning 30th September where she finished fifth overall in 19:07, the first woman to finish. Linda Cunningham finished strongly in 23:15 to take the prize for third woman. First man and overall race winner was Gerry Gavin (17:19), ahead of Kieran Nolan second (17:56), Kedagh Geoghegan fourth (18:59) and Ken Whitelaw sixth (19:08) who did a brilliant job pacing Linda to victory. It has been several years since a 5k was held in Castletown-Geoghegan but this year was a successful return of the race to the fixtures calendar and if repeated, is sure to grow in popularity in the years ahead.
