This was the first time in about 10 years that the event has been held in Cork.  Eagle had no ladies competing, which was unfortunate, given that the event was held in our homebase.  We did have five men competing; Tony Kelleher, Dave Muldowney and Pat Power in the M35 Category and Pat Murphy and John Quigley in the M50 bracket, and they brought home a haul of 10 medals; four Gold, four silver and two Bronze.

The first track meeting of the season took place last Sunday wheh Leevale held their open sports at the Mardyke track.

Ann Marie Healy and Niamh Roe represented Eagle and showed no ill effects from their efforts in the AAI National Road Relays in Raheny the previous Sunday.

National Road Relays, Raheny, 13 April 2008.

Eagle's senior women's team of Niamh Roe, Rhona Lynch and Ann Marie Healy finished in second place in a highly competitive National Road Relay Championships in Raheny on Sunday.

A strong and gutsy run by Niamh Roe in the Munster Senior Road Championships in Ballyea, Ennis on Sunday saw her just piped on the line by Corina Walsh, West Waterford, for the silver medal.
