Brian Sexton won the 2020 Johnnie Fennell cup with a powerful gun to tape performance on Tuesday night winning in 10:46.
Sexton had 12 seconds to spare on second placed debutant Marcus O’Sullivan with Ken Nolan third in 11:00.
The women’s race was won by Aoibhinn McGoldrick in 11:05 ahead of the returning Annette Kealy in 11:10. Ciara Brady of Sportsworld took third place in 11:53.
This was the third edition of the Johnnie Fennell cup with a large number of club members competing and officiating to remember our great friend John Fennell.
John was a stalwart of the club as an athlete his highlights included winning national marathon medals and competing at the Deaflympics.
Johnnie was an active coach in the juvenile section and worked tireless for the club as a volunteer, lending his excellent carpentry skills to many club maintenance tasks.
Johnnie also competed and then assisted at the Lord Mayor series over many years, when finishing his own race he would be a permanent fixture handing out cups of tea in the pre-covid era when we could meet in the club house.
A large number of juvenile’s competed in last night’s race, this would have made Johnnie very proud and would without doubt have saw him scream on encouragement.
The 2020 Lord Mayor of Raheny Two Mile series continues this Tuesday night with the Tommy Lynam Mid-Summer Two Mile.
