Bandon Athletic Club runners produced some fine performances in the recent fourth Cork City Marathon. The strong blustery conditions on the day proved difficult for runners but the lower temperatures were more favourable.

Tim Lucey was very happy with his first marathon performance finishing in 23rd position in a very commendable time of 2.57. Tim was also third O45. Fergus Wall ran the distance in just over three hours and was sixth O40.Tom Sheehan was 10th O45 in a time of 3.12. Matthew Gedden was 17th O40 and finished in a time of 3.12.
