The sunshine brought big crowds to Kilmacow for the St Senans AC Open T&F last Sunday and it was huge success. There was a thrilling battle in the senior 3000m with Jason Fahy of Olympic Harriers of Sixmilebridge just outkicking Sandis Bralitis of West Waterford in a fine time of 8.49. St Senans athletes also produced some great performances especially Mairead Murphy and Eve Lacey in the U/8 race, Hugh Morgan who was a class apart in the U/12 700m, Leanne Foskin who won the junior 400m and Colin Butler who took the junior prize in the 3000m race. James Maher of KCH was an impressive winner of the U/13 700m.Thanks to our sponsors Willie Fogarty Car Sales, Kilmacow and Don Butler Plant and Haulage, Kilmacow.
