Ian Guiden leads Clonliffe to Dublin Novice title Ian Guiden made a seamless transition from Junior to Senior over the country in this afternoon`s Dublin Novice held in St. Anne`s Park, Raheny. On a twisty course through the woods of St. Anne`s the race was run in perfect conditions. The ground conditions on the grass were ideal but through the trees was dry and bumpy. There was a very big field in the Novice and from the off Kris Valters lead the pack with club novice champion Edgar Simkis and Ian Guiden on his shoulder. After a lap Ian and Edgar where at the head of the field running comfortably until just before half way of the 6,000m Ian made his move with an injection of pace through the tress to open a gap of 25m and drive on to take the Dublin Novice title in 18.42. Edgar placed 3rd (18.54)and this provided the foundations for a team win and with fighting runs from Mounia Bouzzine placing 9th and Kris Valters in 16th the Clonliffe team wrestled gold from Crusaders AC. Good runs also today from Tom Sherlock, Philip O`Doherty, Eoin McCullough and Johnny Ward, despite a heavy fall early on. The women`s Novice team put on a spirited display but with withdrawals were always going to be up against it. Running over 3000m the girls gave it their all and finished in a commendable 5th place. First home was Bernadette Kiernan, with good runs also from Bernie Byrne, Sinead Hartnett, the Emmas (Harding and Dunne), Laoise Moggin, Kerri Page. (official results not yet posted).
