The weather wasn't great, fitness levels were not quite Olympic standard, but we persevered with varying degrees of success.
And this year's Off The Ball Goal Mile saw a couple of pre-race grudge matches like Wooly versus Oisin Langan off the back of the 2014 edition and my own personal crusade to finish ahead of Ger Gilroy this time, having only been able to beat the slowest man in the sports department, Nathan Murphy, last year.
As it happened, Nathan trailed in behind again, but it was Cian Murtagh who stole the show with a Usain Bolt-esque demolition of the opposition, while Wooly got revenge on Oisin:

But there's nothing interesting about our times to be honest. The video footage highlighting our athletic prowess is much more revealing then numbers on a page:
Of course, our efforts were in aid of GOAL and you can find out more about the GOAL Mile, how you can help and the important work they do right here.
