Martin Lyons turned in a sparkling performance to win the Athlone IT AC 5km Road Race on Sunday 18th April, which was run in ideal conditions but over a tough hilly course but proved no problem for Martin. Close on his heels was Thomas Fagan in 4th, clearly using the race to sharpen up for the Schools fixtures ahead.

In the ladies race, Maura Dervin just had the edge on Michelle O’Halloran to finish in 3rd place, ahead of Michelle in 4th and both will be looking forward with relish to the Leinster Road Championships in May where the Mullingar women’s team should feature in the medals.
