Review 2003 Grand-Prix Series - 112th CLONLIFFE 2-Mile Road Race & Fun-Run
Venue Finglas - Glasnevin
Date Wednesday 16th, April  2003

  The second event of the Grand-Prix series was the 112th annual running of our own Clonliffe 2-Mile, the oldest race in Ireland.   Click here for FULL LISTING by individual result.   See also the CATEGORY WINNERS list.

  The organisation was excellent with Noel Guiden, Dave Brennan, Paddy Tuite, Killian Lonergan, Gerry McCabe, Paul Duggan looking after things and guiding the runners over the route.   Everybody was well looked after with T-Shirts and goodies etc. as well as a van provided for the gear at the start and also water at the finish.  The Race and performances were analysed later in Kavanaghs ('The Gravediggers') and the prizes were awarded.
  The Grand-Prix Competition was extremely exciting, Brian Rankin returning from injury won the handicap scoring 20 points, with Dylan Ahern second and as he cleverly played his Joker, his points were doubled to 38; Pat Devitt was third and scores 18 points.   Dylan now takes over the leader board and will wear the yellow jersey in the May-Day Mile, which Colm Doran is kindly sponsoring.  Tom Flood will be our sponsor of the 1st mile Grass Race in Malahide. If anyone else would like to sponsor a race, please contact Noel Guiden. See you on 1st of May.

  The fastest actual times (Grand-Prix competitors) went to Sean McDonnell with 10:02 (5 Points), William Stafford 10:07 (3 points) and Nathan Pearce with 10:20 (1 point).
