“The old dog for the hard road and the pup
for the footpath.” The well known saying was proven true again when Declan
McCarthy trounced opposition in many cases less than half his age to win the
fourth Bob Mullan Motors 5K of the summer.
The 44-year-old accountant got his sums
correct to come home 19 seconds clear of the field on a flat but breezy
course in Culmore.
McCarthy was always close to the front and
when he put the boot down with a kilometre to go Gavin Stevenson (27) had no
answer.
Third place went to a fast finishing
Dominic Hazlett (20) in 17:15 with Dermot Connolly in fourth holding on to
his overall lead on the age-graded classification.
Shelagh Murray totted up another win in
the women’s race with a 19:00 clocking.
Local Athletics Development Officer Aileen
Morrison shook off the fatigue of recent triathlons to take second in 20:07.
Olivia McCullagh showed continued signs of
improvement by taking third just another three seconds back.
