Bohermeen AC Half Marathon

Typical March weather (cold & wet) did not dampen the spirits as a bus load of our athletes went to Meath for the Bohermeen AC Half Marathon, with many first timers over the distance and lots more looking to put a big effort in after completing a nice training block under the guidance of coach Bobby Mitchell. Incredible results prevailed! Congrats to all!
