DEAN RACES HOME IN FIRST
BY PATSY McGONAGLE: Nothing better than coming home in front when the race is in your home town . Thats the neat story from club member local man student at Lyit Dean Toland as he raced to victory in St Johnston in the opening event in the Lifford 5k Series.
The local athlete who in fact had won the corrresponding event in 2012 came home in 16.23 with Foyle Valley’s Adrian Mc Gowan second in 16.51. Dean has to build on this victory.
