Munster Even Age Championships

For the 4th Sunday in a row Waterford AC have been represented at Cross Country competitions with this week 25 of our members travelling to Dungarvan for the Even age Munster finals.

Our U18 team of Siobhain Heylin, Niámh Tebay, Lucy Power and Elaine Stone came away with the team Silver, with Siobhain narrowly missing out on a place on the Munster team for the All-Irelands. Well done girls and considering all the girls are out of their age (ie still U17) then a great performance will be expected again at the UnEven age championship on Nov 8th.

While our U10 team were highly tipped to medal as they had won the County Championship at this age group they struggled to repeat the great work with a couple of illnesses effecting the run on the day. Great experience was gained however by all, particularly in the very large fields of runners and the soft conditions underfoot.Well done to the team of , Jake Bagg, Hugo Blair, Luke Kervick, Fergus O'Brien, Greg Hayes and Cian Kervick.

The other team fielded on the day was the U12 girls of Gwyneth Blair, Kellie Grant, Chloe Cooke and kellie Dullaghan and again with most of the team giving away a year they will be expected to have a much easier day out at the Uneven age Championship in three weeks time.

Other great individual performances were had by Linsey McGuire, Ashling Lowe and Emma Caulfield in the girls U10, Conor Quinn, David McGylnn, Jamie McGuire and Luke O'Brien in the boys U12, Dayna Grant, Ciara Dwyer and Emma O'Brien in the girls U14 and Alan Slattery in the boys U16.

Well done to all and thanks again for parents (and grandparents) for making the day out another great day for the Juveniles.

Next Event will be in three weeks with the Uneven Munster Chapionships in Kerry: more details to follow.
