County Cross Country Uneven Ages Success


Another great turnout for the club at the County Cross Country Championship for U9,11,13,15 and 17 in Dungarvan on Sunday last, with 30 runners participating.

Lindsey McGuire started proceedings for the club with a great performance to win the Silver medal in the girls U9 and helped her team of Emma Caulfield, Emma Lowe and Lucy Hogan to win the team Bronze.

The boys U9 team of Jake Bagg, Ewan Nolke, Mark Hogan and Peter Hogan followed with more success to win the team Bronze in their race.

The U11 girls team of Cliona Brennan, Aoife Dullaghan, Ashling Lowe and Collette Hogan ran very well but were narrowly beaten out of 3rd place.

The boys U11 saw a great performance by Hugo Blair to win the individual Bronze and helped his team members of David McGlynn, Jamie McCarthy and Cian Kervick to win Team bronze also.

The U13 girls team of Gwyneth Blair, Ciara Dwyer, Julie Power, Chloe Cooke and Kelly Grant ran very well in a very competitive race but missed out on the medals on the day.

With illness a factor we struggled to field teams in the age groups for Boys U13 upwards but those competing got good experience in soft ground conditions, which will be good practice for the Munster Even age Championship, again in Dungarvan next Sunday (at the earlier 12 noon start). Those who competed were Conor Quinn, Ethan Robinson, Saoirse Power, Dayna Grant, Luke Kervick, Aaron Robinson and Eamon Power.

The day was finished off for the club with a great individual performance by Siobhain Heylin in the girls U17 to take 2nd and the Silver medal.

All in all everyone agreed it was another great day for the club.
