National Road Relays

1st Senior Men <Van Haeften, Fitzgibbon, Travers, Keogh>

Club Team of the Year: Winners of the 43rd edition of the National Road Relays back in April. Donore Harriers had won the title 7 times previously, but the previous success was back in 1992.  Lee Van Haeften (9.34) ran the opening 2-mile leg and handed over 2nd of 26 teams. Daragh Fitzgibbon (4.31), a late replacement for the ill Mark Dooley, put in a brilliant shift and finished his stage with a 3 seconds lead. John Travers (14.07) ran the fasted 3 mile stage and widened the gap to 37 seconds. The final 2 mile leg saw Eric Keogh (9.40) raise the famous Donore by cruising to victory in 37.52 – well ahead of Ennis Track (38.41) and Raheny Shamrocks (39.05). Donore’s time was the second fastest ever!
